Airbag/SRS warning lights are a fact of life in
repair and body shops, alarm and stereo installer shops and at the race track.
Without the Peake Research R5/SRS tool, a BMW SRS light will result in a visit
to a BMW dealer.
Why do I need a specialized tool?
Quite simply – the Airbag (SRS) system employs a number of very sensitive
components all designed to keep you safe in the event of an impact. To ensure
reliability, BMW incorporated sophisticated self-diagnostics into the SRS
system. Any minor fault will trigger the SRS dash light and generate a fault
code. Since generic scanners, such as OBDII, do not speak BMW’s proprietary code
language, a tool such as the Peake R5/SRS will be necessary to read and reset
the codes and light.
Safety Notice: Who should and should not use the R5/SRS?
As mentioned above, repair and body shops, alarm and stereo installer shops and
weekend racers enjoy the greatest benefit of the R5/SRS. However, from a safety
perspective, most BMW owners should not attempt SRS repairs, as these often
require proper training and equipment. In such cases, the value in the R5/SRS is
in reading codes so you will know what to expect when you visit a mechanic.

you MUST use the “under-hood” tool.
(Example: All BMWs 1996 – 1999, All Z3s and all 740i’s regardless of year are
dual connector cars. Also note that X5’s and many three series, up to mid 2001,
