Seat belt buckle switch circuit malfunction

Where to start

The seat belt buckle switch circuit. The most harmless fault in this row: usually a connector under the seat, unplugged or disturbed while cleaning the interior or fitting covers. But the buckle takes part in the pretensioner's logic, so it should not be left.

A code is not a diagnosis. It says which check failed, not which part to replace. Clearing it without repair only means the car will report it again in a few trips.

Number of the faultThe serial number inside that group — it does not say how serious the fault is

All codes in «Body, airbags and lighting»

How the app helps

CarScan reads this code from your car through an OBD-II adapter, shows whether it is active now or only stored, names the module that reported it, and puts it into a plain-text report for your mechanic.
