ABS,Airbag Dash light off?
Hi all ,i need some help to rebuild 318 i e36 BMW.
First question ,any can tell me if possible an 318 `ve 6 cylinder ?
because i purchase this model and im very surprise when i see 6 cylinder motor inside.
second question ,when i put key on position start ,No ABS and Airbag light appear On ? Light is off ? i need them for inspection car ....
IM French and its possible you have some difficulties to listen me but i try to make a good english .
The 318i is a 4 cyl engine. The only way their would be a 6 cyl engine is if someone did an engine swap. All 6 cyl BMW engines are Inline 6 engines, not V6's. I could tell you what motor was in it if you are able to post a picture.
It is possible that the dash lights for those indicators were removed or disabled. Take the car to an auto parts store or mechanic and have them scan the OBD system for Codes. If their is a warning light that is supposed to illuminate the computer would have "thrown a code" as its called. To see if the lights were removed you can remove the instrument cluster.

I'm having a hard time trying to understand what you mean.
Original owner covered light with tape. You removed Which relay? If the brake pad wear sensor is on you can replace it for $15. Their one time use sensors to be replaced when you replace the pads.
