So I bought the peake tool, I used it, I cleared a few codes, then one came back 100 miles later. Driver side seatbelt circuit? When I turn on my car my seatbelt light is lite for a few seconds and then just turns off regardless of me wearing the seatbelt. The previous owner did some electrical stuff, LCD's, stereo, etc. So is there a seatbelt connector or something I should check out? What could cause this? I have limited computer access so please excuse my lack of searching. __________________ 1998 318ti active, 5spd. Black leather with Titansilber metallic paint.

BMW may just replace it. Fault diagnose via tester will say where the fault is __________________ Vin Number decode and Retrofit Pdfs Available Free !

If you can get me in the ballpark I will troubleshoot the crap outta it. I just don't want to dive in and troubleshoot a wire that turns out to be part of my heated seats. I doubt I would but hey, I figure you will point me in the proper direction. What kind of tool will diagnose the faulty sensor? The Peake doesn't, does it? Thanks in advance for your infinite patience, lol. __________________ 1998 318ti active, 5spd. Black leather with Titansilber metallic paint.
