Default 2002 R53 Air Bag/ SRS light

My R53 airbag light is on. When I hook up my Creator C310+, I get a "0B Battery, positive terminal isolation 1" fault code, After I clear it, I get "04 Airbag, passenger, stage 1" code. When I clear that one, it returns to the battery code again. I have replaced the battery cable. My original cable was not blown. I tried the resistor trick with 3 different resistors. Still the same. I'm lost. Thanks in advance.

Default Any dice?

Did you ever find out what was going on? I have the EXACT same set of problems, and am reluctant to try to splice in the resistors.

Thumbs up Yes I Did.

I exhausted all my research, brought it to a MINI independent repair shop and it stumped everyone so off to MINI of Warwick RI and they chased down a faulty connector that runs with the Positive cable. They had to gut the interior to get to it too $767.00 ($9.00 in parts) later, the light is off. I changed cable ends, air bag modules and put in the resistors with no luck. I think if I would have changed the whole cable instead of just the end, I would have found it. Good luck with yours. NBC

Default Sounds like a fun afternoon...

well...crud.

You wouldn’t happen to know the part number, or any idea of it’s location? $9 sounds like I would rip out the floor to fix it if I can vs the >$1000 I’m looking at otherwise. When you say runs alongside the positive, is it in line? Or splits off?

Default Here is the Description from the Dealer

This is the description I got from the service rep. I did not get to talk to the tech who did the work. Hope it helps.
