B00D5Restraint System Passenger Disable Indicator
- Generic OBD-II code · Body
- How the car detects it
- B00D5 concerns the lamp that tells the front occupants the passenger airbag is off. FMVSS 208 wants it yellow, worded PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF (short form PASS AIR BAG OFF) and separate from the readiness lamp; Ford's 2014 F-150 places it by the radio and lights it briefly at start as a self-test. Mitsubishi defines the code in its 2022 airbag index as PASS A/B INDICATOR: subtype -11 for a short to ground, -12 for a short to power and -13 for an open circuit, each checked with the ignition on and set after 2 s; harness, the indicator itself or the airbag control unit are listed as causes. Ford logged B00D5:01 in the restraint module of 2021 Edge and Nautilus among network faults, cured by updating the gateway module. Occupants may be misled about the airbag.
