- Welcome back to the channel.
In this video, I will demonstrate how to effect a repair on a BMW airbag system.
This is a very common fault with pretty much every BMW model affected.
The issue lies within the occupancy sensor inside the passenger seat.
A small module can be purchase on eBay very cheaply (around 6-7 pounds) which will be required to carryout this repair. Link below.

You don't have to remove your seat to do this.. U can just move it forward as far as it goes and you can easily see and reach the wires from behind.
You don't have to wear training shoes to go running but it helps! 😆
You 100% right but he feel a little ''hmmm i know that 😏'' after all when he find it out there is simple way to install this piece hardware instead remove all seat out but i like it for other purpose like info about and how it looks below the seat.
Great video, seems these are only sold/available in UK according to eBay. It looks like I'm going to have to wait a bit to receive mine across the pond.
Hi Kev. By chance did you figure out the dynamic drive warning? I have one on my e65
About to purchase a 07 750 I and looking for one and no luck
Hi, my car steering wheel got stolen recently. They smashed the driver side window in the process. I've since fit a new steering wheel on and immediately afterwards the the sign came on. Do you think it is a different fix? Thanks in advance
It will have interrupted the signal to the airbag. I’m am certain that if you carry out the reset it will be fine 👍🏻
@@KevsShed thank you. I will give that a go
Hello im curious, when you face this safety system issue, is your car still able to start? Im having the ssme faults but not able to start the car
The airbag system shouldn't disable the car from starting. At least it never has in my experience anyway! 🤔
Hi did u ever get your car to start? Mine will not start but the airbag light is on
This is a bit of a Hail Mary, I have a 2013 BMW F06 with a driver's restraint error. The codes are "8029BF Driver's switch cluster: short circuit to B+ or line disconnected". "E4440B FAS, body CAN: line fault/electrical fault". Was this the issue you had with your 7 series?
At 7:50 you don't make it clear what to do with the wire you disconnected. I assume one just tucks it out of the way, maybe covering it with electrician's tape?
Yeah it doesn’t really matter, it’s the cable the goes into the seat as you are bypassing the one from the car. You could cover it in tape if you wish however it isn’t in a position to get wet! Just tuck it out of the way and forget about it 👍🏻😎
@@KevsShed Thank you! I didn't want to just assume. You know what they say about the word "assume".
i have BMW 730d 2008 Driver restrain system fault with Amber light not red?
Have the fault codes read. It’s purely guesswork otherwise!
Hi Kevs, could you please tell me what exactely Carly adapter model and software you are using in this video? I looked at few options they sale on the net and they all say: "Carly will not reset airbag codes. You need a scanner that has SRS functionality."
Evening, I am using the Gen 2 model with Wifi which is used with the iPhone and the associated iPhone App, if using Android then you will need the Gen 2 Bluetooth model as they connect differently. Unsure why you are reading that it can't reset the airbag, as you see in my video it can be done quite easily.
What exactly do you type in Ebay so I can order one?
Type in BMW Airbag Bypass and you'll find what you need.
Did you ever fix the dynamic drive issue?
Actually no, it hasn't bothered me enough to actually fix it! I might get round to it at some point! I'm pretty confident that its the pressure sensor for the rear ARB that is at fault!
Hey ! Mine is a left hand driver (or opposite to yours) will my sensor be under the driver seat or still always the passenger seat?
It'll be under the passenger seat as it is the sensor that detects that someone is in the seat. It makes no difference if left or right hand drive, it'll always be under the passenger side.
@@KevsShed Thank you for a fast reply!
ebay product link is not working.
Thanks mate, it should be fixed now, let me know if it works!
Can u send me the part number of the module to bypass the airbag of the bmw
The B800 airbag tool says it'll reset increase ABS and airbag lights on any BMW from 1980s till 2003. My BMW 745i is made in 03 and sold as a 2004. I wonder if itll work
Not one that I am familiar with I am afraid, I only use the Carly adaptor, INPA or ISTA and have always had success.
I installed a simulator for right passenger seat, I bought from ebay for my 2005 X3 E83. It worked great until a few days later my battery was dead. The simulator is telling the computer someone is still in the car. I'm not sure why it drains my battery. I removed it and now battery is fine but I have ABS light on again. Any suggestions?
On my e39, the airbag light came on after I replaced the driver side window regulator frame. The driver door airbag had to be removed to get to the the frame. I properly had the battery disconnected before taking the interior panel off. Upon reconnecting everything, the window now does go up and down, but the airbag light stays on. This fix here is not the cause of my problem. Thoughts on how to reset the airbag light under there conditions? Thanks, Kev.
These things happen sometimes, have you tried to just do a reset and see if it stays off? If you have the ability to read the fault codes, it should give you an indication of the problem, takes all of the guess work out of it!
Hi Kev great video on my E65 its displaying Driver's airbag fault? can you advise what to do?
Where'd u get the resistor? Any idea regarding your dynamic drive failure yet?
The resistors are freely available on eBay mate, less than a tenner. Not looked into the dynamic drive fault yet as it's got me stumped for the moment!
Will this help on my e65, I have bad airbag module sensor under center console :$
If you have a faulty module then no, most airbag faults across all BMW models are caused by the occupancy mat in the seat, sadly yours seems to be the 1% that has a different fault!
@@KevsShed Omg allways problems :D but thanks, I cant even find proper video on youtube on how to remove center console from e65 :D
Well, drat. I just spent two hour trying to find the connection. There is nothing under the seat that even remotely looks like what you show in the video.
That’s odd, what model do you have?
@@KevsShed 2014 328i 4-dr sedan. Yesterday a friend told me about the way to check compatibility. I got this: "This part is not compatible with this 2014 BMW 328i Base Sedan 4-Door 2.0L 1997CC 122Cu. In. l4 GAS DOHC Turbocharged". I wish I had checked before hand. Oh well. I'm curious. Since so many people are having the same problem, why has there not been a class action suit against BMW over this.?
Dear Kevs, I would like to ask your help and advice if possible. Our E65 has restraint rear right failure message. Could you tell that how can I fix it please?
I would hazard a guess that it involves the rear head restraint, the problem is that the warning messages are quite non-specific. Get the codes read and that will be more pin point towards the error. Once you have that then you will be able to fix it. You may find that the code can be reset and that the problem won't come back, this works quite often with the E65 to be fair! I occasionally get an error with the seat belt restraint on the drivers seat, it always resets though and will be fine for months. Sometimes these cars can be an electrical nightmare!
Dear Kevs, thank you very much for your answer, you are really kind and professional! You are right, this car for example is probably one of those vehicles why they are called nightmare. It spent the last 6 months at a “specialist” at the countryside because he was the only one that I could find in Hungary willing to fix the electronic system of the car, it seems that the reparation hasn’t been executed perfectly. Or it could happen even with an immaculate car anytime? I just ask it because in this case I would not call that formerly mentioned specialist for guarantee service. Could you tell that if it is possible to reset this message at home with some special button combination or it has to be deleted by a professional witha diagnostic tool? Thank you very much for your answer in advance!
@@laszloszabo992 Unfortunately it requires a special tool, My advice would be to buy the Carly diagnostic tool and the app to go with it, it costs about £120 GBP but it'll pay for itself with the E65!
Thank you for your info Kevs, I do it then :)
Silly how faulty this is in so many models of BMW
