Is the following fault pattern present?
- Resistance too high
- Fault currently not present

It is usually the case that the pyrotechnic unit for the seat belt tensioner or side airbag is undamaged!

For sustained fault elimination, a repair cable must be fitted. The extent of the repair is described in the following Service Information bulletins:
