Test B: DTC B1085 - Restraint System - Seatbelt Load Limiter Status

PINPOINT TEST B: DTC B1085 - RESTRAINT SYSTEM - SEATBELT LOAD LIMITER STATUS

Normal Operation
The restraints control module (RCM) checks all of the safety belt load limiting retractors for faults. If the RCM detects one of the following faults on any of the safety belt load limiting retractors circuits, it will store DTC B1085 in memory and send a message to the instrument cluster (IC) module to illuminate the air bag warning indicator. The RCM will set a DTC if a short to battery or short to ground fault is detected. The RCM will also set a DTC if the loop resistance is less than 0.9 ohm or greater than 5 ohms. The normal expected resistance range is 1.31 to 4.29 ohms. If a loop resistance is between 0.9 and 1.31 or between 4.29 and 5 ohms, there exists a strong potential for an intermittent fault.
