X1 BMW Diesel - Failure of the airbag system possible cause?

Hi, I'm having a strange problem with my 2012 X1 BMW with diesel engine. It is somehow not running as usual and an airbag error is displayed. Could it be that the airbag system has failed? Do any of you have experience with this and can give me a garage visit tip on how they best solved the problem? Thank you in advance for your willingness to help.

Hello, I had the well-known BMW problem (fault in the restraint systems). After disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, the fault was still not resolved. So I connected Carly and deleted the error memory and queried it again, after that the error was gone and fortunately has not come back yet.

The airbag light could be triggered by either the seat occupancy sensor or the control module under the seat. A good first step would be to check the wiring and connectors under the seat to ensure they are properly connected and not damaged. If the issue persists, a diagnostic scan tool can help identify the exact cause. However, as this is a safety-related issue, I would recommend having it checked by a professional mechanic if you're unsure.

If the error remains after installing a simulator, it's possible that the simulator is not functioning correctly or the issue might be elsewhere in the system. I would recommend clearing the error codes with your diagnostic tool and see if the error returns. If it does, it would be best to have a professional mechanic inspect the system to avoid any safety risks.

The error code 9AFF on a BMW E60 is related to the safety battery terminal. This could be due to a faulty battery safety terminal, a poor connection, or a wiring issue. I would recommend starting by checking the battery safety terminal and its connections. If you're not comfortable doing this, it would be best to have a professional mechanic look at it. Remember, this is a safety-related issue, so it's important to have it checked out. Do you have any further questions?
