Checking the cable








Warning! Under no circumstances use an ohmmeter or other live measuring instrument to take readings on a disconnected, non-deployed, pyrotechnical seat belt tensioner. This could deploy the seat belt tensioner!

The probable cause of this fault is that the terminal nearest the left seat belt tensioner on the 3rd seat row is defective. Try replacing the wiring for the seat belt tensioner.
Remedy as necessary.
