Its yesterday i was reverse parking the car and had to make a full circle turn. Right on full lock i heard noise as some plastic was crushing inside the cover that holds steering tilt and other levers etc.

Well, in particular BMW fashion, two warning lights on the dash came on. One was airbag failure and other was seat belt tensioners. I though, got car scanned today morning which shows all ECUs ok related to airbag and belt tensioners.


The new error reads as below:

Steering column switch
The communication between the steering wheel and steering column incorrectly Code: 0094EA


What is that exactly broken? What part/s needs to be replaced?

Help appreciated

Without removing the cover and doing an inspection it's impossible to tell.

more than likely a damaged clockspring assembly

I cudnt find the time to fix this problem. However with this breakage all steering wheel controls and horn have also stopped working.
