Test Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2006 Chevrolet Uplander, and 2006 Buick Terraza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
- 4:
This step tests to see if the malfunction is caused by the seat belt pretensioner RF.
- 6:
This step tests to see what DTCs are present. If DTC B0057 is present, test the seat belt pretensioner RF for a short between high and low circuits. If DTC B0058 is present, test the seat belt pretensioner RF high and low circuits for an open and for high resistance. If DTC B0059 is present, test the seat belt pretensioner RF high and low circuits for a short to ground and for a short to voltage.
