Airbag Reset Light?? Can Any Garage Do It Or Just Bmw??

I've just changed my steering wheel, and airbag and the airbag light has come on the dash! i knew this would come on, but havent thought about who can reset it??

Can only BMW MINI garages do this? or any garage with a diagnostics machine??

Loads on how to do this in the faults and fixes forum section under airbag light reset/ petition etc,. It is cheaper to buy a B200 SRS Reset tool on Ebay for around £50 to do it yourself. Any garage will charge more than this every time.........once you buy the tool you can use it whenever required.

(The airbag light only normally stays on if you switch on the ignition when something in the airbag circuit is disconnected even for a moment but once this happens it stays on until you reset using a suitable tool.)

Yes if they have the right diagnostic tools but some independent garages just call in a mobile service man to do the job anyway (similar to mobile air conditioning specialists) as the demand may not justify them having in house facilities for such work.
