Causes

Open or shorted wiring in the right-side retention sensor circuit
Corroded or loose connector at the sensor or restraint control module
Failed right-side retention sensor
Water ingress or contamination of seat/connector
Previous airbag/pretensioner deployment or mechanical damage
Faulty restraint control module or software glitch

Symptoms

Airbag / SRS warning lamp illuminated
Possible seatbelt warning or passenger airbag disable message
Related SRS systems (seatbelt pretensioner, side airbag) may be inhibited for the right side
Code stored in SRS control module; other SRS codes may be present

What to check

Read codes and freeze-frame data with a capable diagnostic scanner; note any related SRS codes
Visually inspect the right seat, connector, and wiring harness for damage, corrosion, or water ingress
Check battery voltage and main SRS fuse/relays before diagnosing electrical circuits
Verify connector retention and pin condition at the sensor and the restraint control module
Verify there are no customer-installed accessories that interfere with wiring routing

Signal parameters

Sensor typically uses a reference voltage (approx. 5V) and returns a signal voltage or resistance value — consult the Land Rover service manual for exact values
Expected: stable reference voltage, acceptable signal voltage or resistance within manufacturer limits, and good continuity to module
Watch for intermittent changes when moving the seat (indicates chafed wiring)
Check CAN/restraint module communication if sensor is polled over a network

Diagnostic algorithm

Use a diagnostic scanner to read all SRS codes and freeze-frame data; record related codes and status.
Visually inspect the right-side seat, connectors, and wiring for physical damage, corrosion, or moisture. Repair any obvious issues.
With battery charged, backprobe the sensor connector: verify reference voltage, signal voltage and ground presence per service manual. Look for open/short to ground/voltage.
Wiggle the seat and harness while monitoring the signal to detect intermittent faults from chafing or broken conductors.
Check continuity between the sensor connector and the restraint control module. Repair any open circuits or poor crimps.
If wiring and connectors are good, swap the sensor with a known-good unit (if applicable) or replace the sensor, then clear codes and retest.
If replacement does not clear the fault, inspect/replace the restraint control module or update module software as instructed by factory procedures.
After repair, use the scan tool to clear codes and perform any required SRS/occupant detection calibrations. Confirm the SRS lamp remains off and re-scan for codes.

Likely causes

Connector corrosion or poor contact (common on seat/under-seat wiring)
Damaged wiring harness due to seat movement or routing
Failed sensor unit
Intermittent ground or low reference voltage to sensor

Fault status

⚠️ Status

SRS fault: Right side retention sensor 2 — inspect right-side seat sensor and wiring; service required.

🟡 Repair difficulty: Medium

⏱️ Diagnostic time: 1.0-2.5 hours
