Signal Missing. Permanent Fault
Signal missing. Permanent fault
Checking component
Caution! SRS-322 is stored if a fault occurs in the right front seat belt tensioner or the right rear seat belt tensioner. It may be necessary to carry out fault-tracing on the front and rear seat belt tensioners to find the fault.
- Make a note of the anti-theft radio code.
- Ignition off.
- Disconnect the battery negative lead.
- Disconnect the connector from the right seat belt tensioner, front or rear.
Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected non-deployed pyrotechnical seat belt tensioner. This could deploy the seat belt tensioner!
- Install special tool 998 8695 TEST DEVICE 998 8695 Test Device on the right seat belt tensioner connector, front or rear.
Caution! The special tool must be checked and faultless. If the tool is defective it will cause errors in the diagnosis and make fault-tracing harder.
- Ignition on.
- Connect the battery negative lead.
- Read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
If the fault is in the right seat belt tensioner (front or rear), the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) status should have switched to intermittent fault. Try replacing the seat belt tensioner and then carrying out a verification.
Other information:
- To access / replace the seat belt tensioner, see Seat belt Service and Repair.
Does the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) status change?
Yes - Verification

Check the control module connector for contact resistance and oxidation according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Check for damage carefully.
Connect an ohmmeter between seat belt tensioner connector #1 and #2. Check for an open-circuit according to Checking wiring and terminals. Permanent fault Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault.
Other information:
- To access / replace the control module, see SRS control module Service and Repair.
- The resistance should be approximately 1 kohms.
- A short-circuit element in the control module connector ensures that there is contact between the positive and negative leads when the control module is disconnected. Otherwise the seat belt tensioner may deploy unintentionally.
Select Continue when the fault has been remedied.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off
- Disconnect the battery negative lead
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on
- Connect the battery negative lead.
Warning! There must not be anyone inside the passenger compartment when the battery is connected.
- Read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
The fault is no longer present if the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has changed to intermittent.

The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
