Driver Seat Belt Tension Sensor
This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.
The SRS module has detected a fault in the driver seat belt tension sensor. This sensor measures belt load and is used by adaptive restraint systems to scale airbag deployment force based on occupant size.
A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
