This DTC indicates an abnormally low-resistance connection (typically <1 kΩ) between the right rear seat belt pretensioner squib circuit and vehicle chassis ground (GND) — Seal U
This DTC indicates an abnormally low-resistance connection (typically <1 kΩ) between the right rear seat belt pretensioner squib circuit and vehicle chassis ground (GND).
As a pyrotechnic safety device, the pretensioner relies on the SRS ECU to supply a high-current pulse during a collision.
A short to ground causes: 1) abnormal circuit resistance, leading the ECU to register a device fault; 2) potential inadvertent deployment if the short-circuit current reaches the ignition threshold; 3) the SRS system to enter fail-safe mode, disabling the right rear pretensioner and associated seat belt reminder function.
This is a hard fault in the passive safety system that directly affects the integrity of the occupant restraint system.
