BMW Carly Pro - diagnostic procedure correct?

2015 M235i ZF8. Certified pre owned. Just got BMW Carly dongle and Carly Pro. Past service record shows dealership replaced outside temp sensor and engine wiring harness in first 20K miles (I bought at 28.4K, now at 34.5K).

1. Car engine on. Carly is paired.

2. Ran the diagnostic with engine on.

3. Got 12 faults (passenger side airbag, gear shifter, infotainment, and some other random stuff).

4. Cleared the faults, rediagnosed with engine on. Got 0 faults.

I'm guessing this means the 12 were all false positives? I've read that clearing faults and rediagnosing is the correct procedure for verifying, but figured some more experienced people here would know.

Yeah just drive to register some miles, maybe 70-100 miles, and then re-diag it.

Its possible those have been in the system since the previous owners problems and were never cleared.

Looks like you are following the correct procedure.

As Swole said, drive it and recheck.
