Passenger Airbag and Restraint Malfunction after removing entire Right Passenger Door
Long story short: a member of the family hit a pole on the right passenger side of my E60. Took it upon myself to find a used, in good condition door to replace it.
Took all the components including wiring, door panel, etc. from the old door and transferred them to the used door shell I got on eBay. Put it back on the vehicle and now I'm getting the following codes:
Nonetheless, I was wondering if there are any other suggestions in regards to this issue? I do not see any other codes to suggest something else. Thank you in advance

- 93DA Deactivation front passenger door module (E60, E61, E63, E64) or satellite A-pillar, left (E65, E66, E67, RR01(
- 93B0 Head airbag, left
- 93E4 Self-test: too few messages
- 96CC Open circuit, firing circuit, thorax airbag, front right
- 96CD Control-unit fault
- 96FD Voltage supply: limit value exceeded
Nonetheless, I was wondering if there are any other suggestions in regards to this issue? I do not see any other codes to suggest something else. Thank you in advance

UPDATE: I got a chance to open the door panel, there was a connector to the door module that was not inserted properly by me (what a fool I am), that cleared all the codes mentioned above.
HOWEVER, I am STILL getting the Passenger Restraint Malfunction error on the iDrive. I am not able find a code on my reader, cleared all the codes present and it still did not clear the message on the iDrive. I had an issue with this many years ago, BMW dealership did a software update which solved the issue (believe it was part of a recall or service bulletin).
Any suggestions? The seat was not tampered with at all during this time.

I am using a Creator 110+, which I'd hope would have shown the code as well. Are you aware of what module it might show up in? I believe it would be under the Passenger Seat module (forgot the exact name on the reader), but the reader shows me no codes.

Checked again this afternoon, still no codes showing on any of the modules. Would have thought it would show up on this reader, do I really need to buy a different one?

I used to own a Creator 110+. I am assuming it would show the code, unless it needs an update. When mine threw a passenger restraint code, it was in the SGM-SIM SRS.
