Second Row Left Inflatable Seat Belt Deployment Control
AI status

100%
Causes
- Open or short in the inflatable seat belt squib/wiring
- Corroded or loose connector at the seat belt module or airbag control module
- Faulty inflatable seat belt module (squib/pyrotechnic device or control unit)
- Poor or missing ground/power to the seat belt deployment circuit
- Previous deployment — damaged/removed components not replaced correctly
- SRS control module internal fault or software/communication error
Symptoms
- SRS/airbag warning lamp illuminated on instrument cluster
- Possible disablement of inflatable seat belt deployment for second-row left seating position
- Stored trouble code(s) and inability to clear without repair
- Possible related occupant restraint system diagnostics flagged (reduced protection)
What to check
- Scan SRS/airbag control module to confirm DTC B00F2 and check for related codes or freeze frame data
- Visual inspection of the second-row left seat belt, connectors, and wiring for damage, corrosion, or loose connectors
- Verify whether the vehicle has had a prior deployment and that replacement parts were fitted correctly
- Check power and ground at the seat belt module connector with key off and per manufacturer safety procedures
- Measure continuity and resistance of the squib circuit from connector to airbag control module (do not attempt to fire or energize the squib)
Signal parameters
- Typical squib/inflator resistance: low ohms (commonly ~0.5–2.0 ohms) — manufacturer-specific values vary
- Open circuit: infinite/OL resistance; short to ground: near 0 ohms
- Vehicle battery/ignition voltage should be stable ~12V during checks
- SRS control module reports status via diagnostic bus (CAN) — communication should be normal
- No firing voltage should be present during diagnosis; do NOT attempt to apply power to the squib
Diagnostic algorithm
- Read and record all SRS/airbag codes and freeze frame data with a capable scan tool. Note any additional codes.
- Follow vehicle manufacturer safety procedures for SRS work: key off, disconnect battery and wait the specified time before handling SRS components.
- Visually inspect the second-row left inflatable seat belt assembly, connector, and harness routing for physical damage, corrosion, or signs of repair.
- Inspect connector pins for corrosion, bent pins, or foreign material; reconnect securely and check for retention.
- With battery disconnected and per manufacturer guidance, measure resistance/continuity of the squib circuit from the seat belt inflator connector to the SRS control module. Compare to manufacturer spec. Look for open or high-resistance conditions.
- Check power and ground circuits to the seat belt module (with proper safety precautions and tools). Verify wiring integrity and absence of short to chassis.
- If wiring and connectors are good but resistance is out of spec, replace the inflatable seat belt module/inflator assembly (do not attempt to reuse a deployed inflator).
- If wiring is damaged, repair to manufacturer standards (splice methods, insulation, routing) and recheck continuity/resistance.
- After repairs, reconnect battery, clear codes, and perform SRS system checks with a scan tool to confirm the fault does not return and system readiness is restored.
- If fault persists and wiring and module check good, consider SRS control module inspection or reprogramming per manufacturer procedures.
Likely causes
- Damaged harness or chafed wiring in the second-row left seatbelt circuit
- Corroded/loose connector at the seat belt inflator/module
- Open or high-resistance squib (inflator) or connector (most common)
- Faulty seat belt inflator/module requiring replacement
Fault status
Status
Stored when the SRS control module detects a malfunction in the deployment control circuit for the second-row left inflatable seat belt (electrical fault, open/short, module fault, or circuit problem). The SRS warning light is likely illuminated and inflatable seat belt deployment for that seating position may be disabled until repaired.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0-3.0 hours
