E91 LCI Overhead passenger airbag offwarning light on

[twokcc]

The overhead yellow warning light comes on when I first put ignition key into car but goes off shortly afterwards
According to the manual p49 "the indicator light does not come on if the front passenger airbag has been activated" (after activation by keyswitch but cant find any other info about operation)
The pasenger airbag keyswitch is set to on
Took it to dealer and he says its functioning correctly
Could anyone please confirm that their light come on then switches off.

Thanks

all of the e9x cars I have had, the light came on momentarily after switching on - presumably to ensure that the light is working - much like the rest of the dash lights - also if you use the key in the switch in the end of the dash on the passenger door side it will stay on all the time to remind you that the passenger airbag is switched off.

Thanks for info Gizard, next time I'll ask before taking to dealers cost £90 to be told it was working OK, a very expensive wash/vac and coffee.

That's the proveout strategy, no reason to be concerned. Something is up if it stays lit or comes on after the initial proveout.
