Driver Restraint System Malfunction
Hi Guys,
Got the “Driver Restraint System Malfunction” error after retrofitting one of the newer style steering wheels to my 2014 M135I. I had the battery disconnected while installing it, but I think when I reconnected it and turned the ignition on the airbag connector wasn’t in properly and that’s how I got the code. What’s my options for getting it cleared? It’s it a dealer only thing or can I use a generic code reader to get rid of it? Any help it’s appreciated! |

The wheel I have has apparently come off an F30. I was told by the seller that it would fit my F20, but I’m starting to think I may have had the clip in correctly and maybe you can’t use the F30 airbag on an F20 without having the error?

Unless there's a more serious mistake than "From:07/01/2012 To:-" (Back to Diagrams says "From 03/2014") not the steering wheel itself (Did you know you chose wrong going with F20 rather than F21? ): but the airbag module you suspect is the same: Feel free to click "Back to Diagrams" or "Select another car" up there to refine your cross-referencing. Yet, the steering wheels must be interchangeable as well, in fact, differing in some decoration(?) apart from weight only. |

There shouldnt be any problem retrofitting it,as far as im aware the f30 M steering wheel is the same as the f20’s....
And you can retrofit cleanly an lci M steering wheel on a pre lci vehicle without errors or anything |
