Error Code with new steering wheel
Hi guys and gals,
I recently replaced the steering wheel in my 2016 F10 with an M-Sport Steering wheel (with dual-stage USA airbag). It is a direct swap, meaning that the button configuration is exactly the same as on my old steering wheel, and yes my old wheel also had paddles. All the buttons and paddles work perfectly. However, running a Carly diagnostic gives me the following error: Code:
Steering Column Switch Cluster Fault code: 030411 Multifunction steering wheel (MFL): wrong variant I'm fairly comfortable at FDL and VO coding using either Bimmercode or E-Sys, IF I know what to look for. Does anyone have any insight on how to code out this error? Thanks in advance. |

According to the vin decoder site, my original steering wheel option is listed as option S255A.
Am I correct in assuming that to fix the issue mentioned above I will need to VO code for the correct option code of that M-sport steering wheel? If so, does anyone know the right code for that particular steering wheel? |

I put a sport steering (not M-Sport) wheel with paddles on my 2012 and coded the SAT. It's been to the dealer multiple times since (routine maintenance) and my SA has ever mentioned a problem with the delivered options and my updated options. I've never run a scan so don't know if the change would display.
Personally, I wouldn't worry as it's just a "procedural" error. |

S710A is the VO code you'll want. Just VO code the SZL I believe. Or don't, it's just a warning tbh

I was almost positive 710 was the correct code too, but now I don't know if it wasn't, or I just didn't code all the necessary ECUs. I ended up just making this change to SZL via FDL coding, as per the advice of someone on the other forum. This got rid of the error, albeit not as elegantly (in my OCD head): Code:
LIN_VARIANTE_MFL = invalid |

I have a 2016 535i x drive base model and i just replaced my steering wheel with the same m sport wheel and have the airbag malfunction light on. Is advanced coding the only way to get this taken care of? Bimmercode wont clear the code?

Not sure why you didn't pull the battery when doing this.

I did not pull the battery when this was installed. But as previous post, the light went off when i put back the old airbag, then back on with new steering wheel. i went to put back on the old one again. It was off for a moment but then came back on. so i just left the new steering wheel with new airbag in. But I believe the issue is the air bag.
The coder i used had scanned fort errors and did not find any errors on his side. Its odd. I saw another thread where another member had the same issue. The airbag that came with his wheel looks the same as what I have and why I believe the issue is the airbag. Here's a pic if the airbag that came with the wheel. Am I missing a connector for this dual stage airbag? Last edited by RJV3; 05-13-2020 at 10:20 AM.. |

I'll disconnect it again and try again. But based on the above, there nothing wrong with the airbag? It doesn't need that third blue connector? |

Ah I totally missed that part. Yea, contact whoever you bought this off of. There's no reason it should be missing that blue plug. The blue plug controls how fast the airbag inflates IIRC, so definitely will set off a light. I read your question as "is it supposed to be missing a blue wire" lol

I was able to get into contact with the seller but he does not have the airbag I require in stock. So I ended up buying another airbag from another ebay seller. I'll probably just resell the airbag that came with the msport wheel on ebay to recoup some losses. I also ran across that post you hyperlinked, but I wasn't comfortable disassembling the airbags. |
