Outzone B800 BMW SRS Airbag Reset Tool | OBDII Scanner Read & Clear Fault Codes | Fits E36/E46/E34/E38/E39/Z3/X5 (1994-2003) – Except 2001 330i
  • ✔️【Professional SRS Reset for 1994-2003 BMW】 Designed specifically for classic BMW models (1994-2003). This B800 scanner reads & clears SRS airbag fault codes, turns off the warning light, and saves you a costly dealer visit.

  • ✔️【Important: Two Different Connection Ports – Read Before Use】 To avoid “not working” issues, please note: For 1994–2000 BMWs (most E36, E34, Z3, early E39), the SRS diagnostic port is a round 20-pin connector under the hood. You MUST use the included 16-pin to 20-pin adapter cable. For 2000–2003 models (late E46, E39, X5), use the standard OBD-II port inside the cabin.
