OBD-II fault code

B0058: Third Row Right Seatbelt Sensor (Subfault)

What it means

This code identifies a fault associated with the third row right seat belt sensor. The restraint control module sets it when it detects a problem with this sensor; the specific fault is identified by accompanying subfault information.

At a glance

  • Usually lights the airbag (SRS) or body-system warning light

How it works

The third-row right seat-belt sensor or buckle switch reports that position's belt status to the restraint control module. The module checks the input and wiring for a fault; the accompanying subfault information specifies the condition it detected.

Common causes

Most likely first.

  1. Faulty third-row right seat belt buckle switch or sensor
  2. Damaged wiring or loose connector at the buckle
  3. Connector corrosion or poor electrical contact
  4. Fault in the restraint control module

Symptoms

  • Airbag or seat belt warning light on
  • Seat belt status may be misreported

How to diagnose it

  1. Read the B0058 subfault and freeze-frame data with a scan tool that can access the restraint control module.
  2. Check that the third-row right belt and buckle are not obstructed or damaged and that the buckle latches and releases.
  3. Inspect the right third-row buckle connector and wiring for corrosion, loose fit, pin damage, or pinching around moving or folding seat parts.
  4. Compare third-row right belt-status data while latching and unlatching the buckle.
  5. Test the buckle sensor and its circuit to the restraint control module using the manufacturer's procedure before suspecting module failure.

Common fixes

  • Reconnect or repair damaged wiring at the third-row right buckle.
  • Repair corroded or loose sensor connector terminals.
  • Replace the faulty third-row right buckle switch or seat-belt sensor assembly.
  • Repair or replace the restraint control module only after verifying its connections and the sensor circuit.

Can I keep driving?

The vehicle may be driveable, but the third-row right belt status may be misreported and the restraint system may not work as designed in a crash. Confirm the belt latches securely and have the warning diagnosed promptly.

A code shows where the control module detected a fault, not always which part failed. Check the causes in order and confirm with a test before replacing parts. Have several codes? Check them together

This is a generic code: it means the same on every make. The car’s maker may add more detail in its own service information.
