Restraint System Fault E60 Driver Or Passenger

However I have recently taken it for a service somewhere else and all the faults have come back I need a cheap repair in Birmingham.

Wheel buttons dont work anymore and turning the wheel makes some strange noise like repetitive clic sounds that come from behind the wheel.

It looks like its a cable or connector that got disconnected from behind the wheel and that its hampering preventing the free movement of the wheel.

Seen this before Can my wife still drive the car safely until we get this fixed at the dealer 5 Series E60 restraint System Fault And drivers Restraint Fault.

Dont fancy paying BMW 3 figures for their 2 minutes of time might need.

My 03 threw srs symbol again after having it reset prior, states drivers restraint system fault.

You need bmw. I called the assistance this evening but they didnt call back.

Most likely your slip-ring (item that provides connectivity between Air Bag and the rest of the harness while steering wheel can still turn) either got disconnected or wires broke off.

You do need to take it to a dealer to have it checked and replaced defective parts.

I wouldnt drive the car as damaged items may lock your steering wheel during driving.

The least you can do if you are mechanically inclined is to check it yourself.

Even if you fix it yourself dealer needs to be involved to have the code cleared.

BMW put easily break part into the expensive unit and ISTA informed it must be replaced whole unit.

Slip ring is flexible flat ribbon cable located inside of SZL module (steering column switch module) and provide power signals to air bag, horn and other function switches on the steering wheel.

E serise has seperate slip ring module and can easily replace it but F serise has one whole unit and you have to replace whole SZL module (550) Labor Reprograming fee.

You can re-solder cable if you can but personally I couldnt do that.

Chutti tv live. I checked mine and found both cables (it has 2 ribbon cables) are broken into 6 parts (see picture.).

There are two ways Im aware that this can happen, there might be others.

Driver or passenger seat getting wet and seat mat sensor confuses the system, warning will likely go away after the seat dries.

Cleaning up your car and moving your seats every way possible (too far backforward or too highlow) might require re-calibrationreset at the dealer (silly I know, but this actually happened to me).

Hope this helps. Left my sunroof open and a sudden downpour drenched my interior.
