I have the same problem in my e90. Can i fix this with a new seat.

[@MustangMotors]

Yes you can, the new seat will do

Hi I’ve got this code on my z4,after fitting the new occupancy sensor do you need to clear the fault code yourself or does the car do it automatically ie no light on the dash when you turn on the ignition.

[@MustangMotors]

It will clear automatically but it’s always best to clear any fault codes for future diagnosis

What was actually wrong with old mat ?

[@MustangMotors]

the seat occupancy detector was broken,

[@JohnstonPettigrew]

​@@MustangMotorsso it wasn't the mat??... it was the sensor located under the seat?
