B0096 Passenger Seat Belt Sensor circuit, open circuit or short to ground/B+










Fault symptoms
Airbag warning lamp on.

Conditions
Ignition ON

Fault criteria
The circuit for the seat-belt switch shorted to ground/B+ or break in circuit.

System reaction to a fault
If a fault arises in the circuit of the seat-belt switch, the control module cannot determine if someone is belted in the seat. The control module thus always triggers the seat-belt tensioner in the event of a collision.

Diagnostic help
The diagnostic tool can be used to read the status of the seat-belt switch.
