Capacitance Too High
Capacitance too high
Checking the component
- Ignition off
- Disconnect the connector from the left seat belt tensioner on the 3rd seat row
- Connect special tool 951 1506 Test dummy 951 1506 Test Dummy to the seat belt tensioner
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!
Note! The special tool must be checked and fault-free. If the tool is defective, the diagnosis readings will be incorrect. This will make fault-tracing harder.
- Switch on the ignition. Wait 10 seconds.
Read off diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
Try a new seat belt tensioner if the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) changes status from a permanent to an intermittent fault.
Other information:
- To access and replace the seat belt tensioner, see Seat belts, replacing Seat Belts, Replacing
- To check the special tool, see Calibration Calibrating the Special Tool.
Does the status of the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) change?
Yes - Verification
No - Checking components and wiring

Checking components and wiring
- Ignition off
- Disconnect special tool 951 1506 Test dummy 951 1506 Test Dummy from the connector for seat belt tensioner.
Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings from a disconnected undeployed seat belt tensioner. This could deploy the seat belt tensioner!
Caution! Do not touch the terminal pins in the Supplemental Restraint System Module (SRS). There is a risk of static discharge. This could damage the Supplemental Restraint System Module (SRS).
Check the cable between the Supplemental Restraint System Module (SRS) terminal #12A(12), terminal #11A(11) and connector terminal #1, terminal #3 on the left seat belt tensioner on the 3rd seat row. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Connect special tool 951 1506 Test dummy 951 1506 Test Dummy to the connector for seat belt tensioner.
Check the resistance between terminals #12A(12), #11A(11) to the Supplemental Restraint System Module (SRS). The resistance between the terminals should be infinite.
Remedy as necessary.

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 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) status is intermittent.
Is the diagnostic trouble code (DTC) intermittent?
Yes - VERIFIED
