D800 E10 Error code
Well i did it - and accidently lit the air bag light when replacing my seats. I have the D800 tool but its only showing error 10 - no/limited connection to the car (1.9 1998) Yet to try disconnecting the battery- but does anyone have any other ideas? FYI i have used the tool before successfully...

There is a Technical Service Bulletin for the connectors to the seat belt tensioner, my car had the air bag light on when I got it and when I went for the annual inspection they diagnosed it and the problem was the tensioner connectors (under the seats), I replaced both connectors and brought the car back for re-inspection, they reset the system memory because the fault is stored and until it is fixed it will turn the airbag light back on. I noticed after I replaced the connectors with the service kit and started the car there was a slight delay in the light coming back-on, I was guessing that it passed the self check and the light came on due to the stored fault code. They erased the fault code from the system memory and I have not had a problem since in 2+ years.
"replaced the connectors with the service kit"....
Can you advise on where you got this from as your helpful message implies this could be a standard repair kit that could be of benefit to a lot of members who are reporting this (repeating) fault.
Many Thanks

The repair Kit part number is 61 12 9 118 112 Rep.cable F seat plug, that is the part number which supersedes part # 61 12 9 908 853. The problem is corrosion on the connectors creates additional resistance resulting in the circuit failing the self check which triggers the fault code (6 I believe). Here is a link to a discussion on it with some additional information: https://www.justanswer.com › bmw › 2lwa6-bmw-deal...
I had my pretensioner's serviced as well, they were not coming up in the codes, at the time they were 13 years old so I had them serviced to help to avoid any additional problems.
