    Default Fault code help (yes i searched)

    I just pulled codes 45 and 46 out of my 1993 525iA Engine is m50TU

    i can't find ANYWHERE what that means. any help?

    thought the ECU might be the culprit since i can't find the codes.

    here's the ECU pulled. Sticker on the left looks like it might have been replaced by the dealer already.

    SRS 2 - 1991 -1993
    Code 45 = Air bag ignition circuit (driver's side) resistance in supply wire too high
    Code 46= Seat belt pre-tension system - passenger airbag. Same issue

    That sound possible?

    Edit: list of codes here among other places: http://www.e38.org/e32/bmw%20code%20defaut.pdf
