B0024Right Side Deployment Control
- Generic OBD-II code · Body
- How the car detects it
- B0024 is missing from the public J2012 lists; there the right front side airbag is B0028. General Motors used the number twice. Older modules, such as those of the 2006 Saab 9-5 and the Saab 9-3, assign it to driver frontal stage 1: on the 9-5 the voltage at the module pin leaves the 1.0 to 4.1 volt window for 2 seconds, on the 9-3 the loop is shorted to ground or battery. In 2021 GM listed B0024 01 beside B0017 01 and B001E 01 on Cadillac XT4 to XT6, Blazer, Camaro, Malibu and Acadia as a software fault of the sensing module, pointing to the knee bag and the inboard side bag of the driver seat; new SDM software fixes it (PIT5827, 21-NA-176). A right side airbag meaning is not publicly documented. Airbag lamp on.
