The restraints control module (RCM) checks all of the safety belt pretensioners for faults. If the RCM detects 1 of the following faults on any of the safety belt pretensioner circuits, it will store diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B2292 in memory and flash, depending on the fault indicator, either lamp fault code (LFC) 33, 34 or 38 (or higher priority code if 1 exists) on the air bag indicator.
The Hybrid vehicles are equipped with 3 pretensioners. The driver side is equipped with a safety belt buckle pretensioner and a safety belt retractor pretensioner while the passenger side has only a safety belt buckle pretensioner.
