Hi, this evening when im about to go out with my gf. she was sitting in the care and when i start the car, the idrive shows that my passenger restraint system is not function can effect the passenger side air bag.

should i just unplug the battery and put it back or... get car computer reader to delete the problem... or go to the stealer...

i tried searching through the forum but... not much result..

if you have any idea what i should do... any comment are appreciated , have some one came through this issue before?

Thanks...

 

There is a recall on the seat sensor for many e60's. The dealer should be able to verify.

 

I just had mine fixed through the recall a few weeks ago. However, I thin the recall is only being applied to certain build dates.

 

That's why the OP should verify with the dealer.

 

I think there are a quite a few of us on here with the same problem. I had mine replace d under recall, a while back. Called bmwna a wk ago about a diff recall for pass rst. They were not aware of any recalls. Of course mine is back on.

 

ive been having the same problem. The seat belt light also stays on in the dash. Does any one know what build date the recall covers? i drive an 06

 

Mine is 05 and had the same problem prior to the recall. I paid around $1500 to fix it 'cause mine is over 50k miles. After I received the note from BMW in Dec 2008, I contacted BMWNA and they told me to go to the dealer for a refund. In the note, BMW also said this warranty is good for 10 years with unlimited mileage. I did get my refund from the dealer..

 

Got this problem a few months ago. If you can clear the error code, and it doesn't come back straight away, meaning it's intermittent, 9 times out of 10 it'll be your battery cable. Or at least, that's what my mechanic told me. After a code clear, and the error coming back a week later, a batter cable swap and it's been fine for months /shrug\

It's an option if the rest of it checks out.
