Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The following are possible causes of the malfunction:

A short between the seat belt pretensioner - LF high and low circuits.
An open or a high resistance in the seat belt pretensioner - LF high or low circuits.
A short to ground or a short to voltage in the seat belt pretensioner - LF high or low circuits.
The seat belt pretensioner - LF connector
The SDM connector
A malfunctioning seat belt pretensioner
A malfunctioning SDM

Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and the connectors may result in a misdiagnosis, causing a part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
