Hi,

I have my airbag light on, I used a b800 code reader, I've got 38, 02, 1A then FO11.

This link may help as far as I can make out https://www.scribd.com/document/59569863/B800-BMW-Airbag-SRS-Scan-Reset-Tool-User-Manual

38 tells you to refer to Table 38 same for 02
Consulting Table 38 Code 1A appears to be passenger seat occupancy detector at fault
FO11 appears to relate to Firing circuit belt tensioner at fault
I would hazard a guess that the wiring beneath your passenger seat have been snagged or have loose connections,
Best disconnect the battery and then check all connections under the seat, when happy that they are all good reconnect the battery and clear the codes with your B800 code reader then see if the codes come back. If they do come back then it may be that both sensors need replacing as they may have gone bad.
I'm sure someone will be along to offer advice and either confirm or put us right on what I found out regarding your codes.
