On all Scion/Toyota's and Dodge Caravan's I always unplug the knee bolster air and cycle the ignition with no problems. FYI
I drink current, eat ohms, and bleed voltage

Do you disconnect it with the battery disconnected then reconnect the battery or you just unplug it? The knee bolster airbags are constantly a PITA. Luckily on the Avalon I just did, there was enough wire that I could set it on the floor (on some padding to keep the panel from getting scratched) and had enough room to work. But the Chrysler's are a royal PITA

I disconnect and reconnect them with the battery connected. I've done work for the local dealership for around four years, done hundreds of these vehicles, and have never had an issue.

The airbag lights do reset once the airbag is reinstalled without a scan tool.

Kenny & RacerJames,  here is a possible fix on the Nissan power windows posted by another forum member ( never tried it myself ) :

Nissan / Infinity  Power window reset

1. Window reset

   A: Hold switch down to FIRST stop (not auto), roll window all the way down, keep holding for 5 seconds.

   B: Push switch further to the AUTO DOWN position; hold for 5 seconds.

   C: Pull switch up to FIRST stop (not auto), roll window all the way up, keep holding for 5 seconds.

   D: Pull switch further up to AUTO UP position, keep holding for 5 seconds.

Worth a try before going to the dealer.

Soldering is fun!

That fix to my knowledge seem to work on the following:-
VW
Mercedes
Toyota
Euro GM, Vauxhall Opel + Saturn Astra, Buick Regal
Euro Ford
But funnily enough not BMW.
