Airbag - dual stage vs single stage

[tonylauno1 7]

Upgraded my triangle shape airbag (like the e36) to the round shape with dual stage (like the e46 330ci)

The airbag light keeps coming back after erasing it.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks

Whats the fault code ??

Hi Glenn,

I was using Carsoft 6.5 and the code was "13 Driver airbag faze 2'

Not sure how that translate to the dealer bmw diagnostic code.

The two stage airbag had two connectors,

1st) I remove the black one and reset the light, it came back on.

2nd) then I put the black one in and took up the green one, reset the light and it stayed off.

The black connector doesn't go into the green socket so it's not like I could choose.

If there was any problems, I'm sure the airbag self-test light would come back on. Don't know if this is will deploy 1st or 2nd stage airbag on impact.

Hate to think that I'm putting my life at risk just because I want a thicker sport steering with buttons & paddles.

(have not connect the buttons or paddles yet)
