Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor
Have a 2006 X5 3.0i, facelift.
The Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor has become faulty (had the code checked). There was a recall on this specific issue but lucky me my car isn't covered. Local shop told me $6-700 to replace the sensor. (On the facelift E53 the sensor is built into the seat, need to replace the whole bottom half of the seat). Currently I have the passenger airbag disabled light turned on. Searched and found this which is supposed to make the computer think there is always a person sitting in the passenger seat, thereby allowing the passenger airbags to work in a collision. Problem is its not compatible the sensor wire I have under the seat. The maker of that bypass doesn't know how to help me. Is there anything else out there that I can do to avoid the big repair bill? Now for pictures: Wire layout under seat: ![]() The yellow box. Wire bundle comes out of floor into this box. The sensor wire along with those for all the seat control motors feed into the other side: ![]() Seat sensor wires connected ![]() Sensor wire on the sensor side. Any pre-made replacement needs to have this socket: ![]() Sensor wire on the yellow box side. Pointed it at the camera to show number of pins and the shape of the connector:
