Not as capable as INPA but it is a self contained handheld unit and doesn’t require a laptop. I have the N530 tool and it also resets the SRS light as well as OBD2, maintenance minder, and other modules.
It has a nasty bug in it that has cost many people much time and $$$ chasing the wrong fault. The Chinese offering off Aliexpress and Amazon/eBay is a clone of the Peake circuitry and software. It is a 1980’s grade tool that they kept trying to limp into this century with marketing. The Peake tool is NLA, the entire company is gone… about a decade too late. Of course, it needs to be installed on a laptop, but compatible machines can be obtained very cheaply if you dont have one just laying around. It provides all the functionality you could need or ask for for this era of BMW. We have access to an older version that snuck out the side door years ago. INPA is a factory tool that BMW still uses today. It’s free, except for cost of cables, about $20. That’s why I loaded it onto an old laptop. INPA software has reset the light a few times. Which current market tools can read the error codes? Once the cluster light illuminates the error needs to be corrected (reattach the wiring in this case) and the trouble code erased.
You need INPA or a diagnostic tool (I.E nt530) to clear it. How to reset BMW E36 Seats airbag light on?
Now the seats are out and the airbag light is on I ended up starting the car during the procedure of removal. Take the seats out and have them reupholstered why the car is sitting.
