What it means
This code identifies a fault associated with the second row left seat belt load limiter deployment control. The restraint control module sets it when it detects a problem in that deployment control; the exact fault is specified by accompanying subfault information.
How it works
The second-row left seatbelt load limiter is part of the SRS belt system and is intended to control belt force for that seating position during a crash. The restraints control module monitors its deployment circuit and stores this code when it detects a fault; the accompanying subfault information identifies the failure type.
Common causes
Most likely first.
- Load limiter wiring or connector fault
- Open or shorted deployment circuit
- Faulty second row left load limiter
- Restraint control module fault
Symptoms
- Airbag warning light on
- Second row left load limiter may not operate in a crash
How to diagnose it
- Read the SRS subfault details and freeze-frame data to determine the reported circuit condition and when it was detected.
- Inspect the second-row left load limiter connector, belt assembly area, and harness for damage, corrosion, looseness, or pinching under trim or seats.
- Check for other SRS codes that may indicate a shared module power, ground, or connection fault.
- Following the manufacturer's SRS safety procedure, test the second-row left load limiter circuit for an open or short consistent with the subfault.
- If the wiring passes, test the second-row left load limiter and restraints control module with the manufacturer's diagnostic procedure.
Common fixes
- Secure or repair a loose or corroded second-row left load limiter connector.
- Repair an open, short, or damaged wire in the second-row left load limiter circuit.
- Replace the second-row left load limiter assembly if component testing confirms a fault.
- Repair or replace the restraints control module only after its connections and the deployment circuit have been checked.
Can I keep driving?
The vehicle may be driveable, but the second-row left load limiter may not control belt force as intended in a crash. Ensure occupants wear their belts and arrange prompt SRS diagnosis; do not disturb deployment wiring except under the manufacturer's safety procedure.
