It's not the steering angle sensor, it's the switch center steering column.

Here's a link to BMW acronyms

And just what is this "switch centre steeing column"? I (possibly incorrectly) read that a "switch centre steering column" is a device for detecting when the steering column is centered. Or at any other (non-centered) position.

Sounded like the steering angle sensor to me.

I still don't get the connection to the SRS system. ABS/DSC, sure. But SRS?

*edit* Turns out my German is fine but my interpretation is off!

The SZL module is the large switch assembly at the top of the stearing colum containing many of the connections the run up to the steering wheel - makes sense. And now the connection to the SRS is clear. Or in the case of this fault, why there is no connection.....
