The big possibility is seatmate sensor already kaput.

In case the problem is the seatmate sensor and u want to save money, u can buy the bypass unit which cost around RM100 from ebay to get the problem solve.

or you can use scanner unit and disable the seatmate sensor.

Maybe some details with this will help Besides im using the bypass but maybe this disable is much better incase the bypass didnt work or something...

BMW scanner Version 1.4 (from previous group buy) have the option to enable/disable many functions. A MUST have & a very useful tool for every BMW owner.

Scan dulu brother whether the real cause is the seat sensor or something else. Diagnostic can tell you the real problem. It could be pre-tensioner as well. If pre-tensioner is reported, try to check the wiring first. Sometimes can be contact problem. Pre-tensioner can cost you around RM700 as well I guess.

I wouldn't recommend disabling the passenger air bag sensor. It is there to enable the passenger air bag only when a passenger is seated on the passenger seat. Over time this sensor pad which sits under the leather/cloth can get damaged. You can get it replaced or you might regret bypassing it in case you meet with an accident.

In anycase I recommend having your error codes read first before you jump to conclusions.

Btw, i live in melbourne but have been to Kuantan many times and will do in future too as my bro lives there . Would be nice to meet up with other 3 series owners when Im there next.

Guys Just Sharing i just scanned my car (again) yesterday... and found out its not my Mat but my Seat belt tensioner... so yeah... better scan it first...

dear sifu, yesterday i replaced power window railing(driver side) the old one kaput already.., before i finish my installation, i do the testing& commissioning 1st, but forgot to connect the airbag. Now lampu airbag sudah menyala,.. So, cannot reset manually ka?? (like brakepad sensor indicator).

TQ

You can try disconnecting the battery, if that doesn't work (highly likely it won't) means you need to plug a diagnostic machine to clear the warning

Find a forumer close to you that have a diagnostic tool, it would be cheaper plus a new friend..
