Passenger Restraint System Malfunction

[skyviper80]

Since purchasing my Supra I have intermittently received the error message "passenger restraint system malfunction" on my infotainment display.

I have not been able to find anything online regarding the error message and so far Toyota can't figure out what the issue is.

It only happens when I have a passenger in the vehicle, but not every time. The error will remain on the screen until you turn the vehicle off. Once the vehicle is off any trace of the error is completely gone. It is not being recorded by the car's ECU and the service technicians can't seem to reproduce it.

The message is the same as the one linked here.

Has anyone else run into this or know what is causing it?

Well these guys seem to be discussing it.
Moisture in sensor and dangling sensor.

I don't have an error but searching under passenger seat for a lost item, I realized cables underneath are rather free to move. Haven't fixed it yet, but zip tie should do the trick. I'll check if things got dislocated...
Edit. No need for zip, yellow part got loose from bracket somehow

Anyone figure this out? This just happened to me on my A91 after getting tint done.

Got my car back and they figured it out this time. See attached service record for repair action.

They found a bare wire that was loose and shorting to ground.

Same issue here... I will try to visually assess if I have the same wiring issue tomorrow and if all else fails I'll take it to a dealer.

So this just happened to me today after getting Tint done as well. What was the solution?

Just happened to me after getting PPF and tint done as well.... Ran Bimmerlink and it indicated a "short circuit" in the driver side door airbags without an option to clear the error. Bringing the car to the dealer this weekend to have it looked at.

Tint guy got water in your door and shorted something.

So I got it into the dealership and they said it was my OBD2 / BimmerCode that caused some weird malfunction with the coding of the safety features triggering a false alarm. Seems kinda BS, but they cleared the codes and it hasn't come back yet even with all my BimmerCode settings still in place.

Bumping an old thread. Got the same issue today after tint so assuming the water causing a shortage.
Whats the solution ? Do I need to take it to the dealership?

Happened to me when I was working on the passenger window. Used bimmerlink to clear the code initially but to no avail (bimmerlink complained cant erase code). After about a month and 500 miles later, tried again, was able to clear it this time. Been three months since, still going strong.

I made an appointment to take it into the dealership, the car is still under warranty so hoping it’s a not a big deal.
I did however make a few minor non related BimmerCode changes, I’m wondering if I should put everything back to normal, I’m not sure if they will void my warranty
