Possible Causes
A short to battery or ignition on the driver safety belt pretensioner circuit can be caused by:
- a short to battery or ignition on circuit 1079 (LG/RD).
- a short to battery or ignition on circuit 1080 (LG/BK).
- a short to battery or ignition on the driver belt pretensioner.
- an RCM internal concern.
