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-16 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-16?
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-16 is in reading codes so you will know what to expect when you visit a mechanic.
