The passenger restraint system sensor dings really loud when a passage or object is in the passenger seat. The sensors in the seat that tell the air bag to be on or off is messed up.

An airbag fault appears as 'passenger restraining malfunction. Keep wearing seatbelt and contact nearest dealer. ' this code came up over a year ago and the dealer cleared the code. Now it's back after being on and off for over 6months. This time it's constant and the dealer today said that the sensor pad under the seat / sensor has to be replaced. The coast is $1400. This is not right and fair. In case of an accident my passenger will not be protected. 1000S online complain of the same issue and BMW isn't doing anything about it.

Getting an intermittent passenger restraint system malfunction. It states the passenger airbag will be deactivated. The error is occurring when a passenger is in the passenger seat, and also now when the seat is empty. After searching this error message, this appears to be a common issue with different years and models of BMW.
