B00E2Third Row Center Seat Belt Pretensioner B Deployment Control
- Generic OBD-II code · Body
- How the car detects it
- B00E2 would report the firing circuit of a B-stage tensioner at the centre seat of the third row. This is about the rarest slot in the pretensioner table: a centre seat in row three is uncommon, and a second tensioner stage on it even more so. No manufacturer documents the code. For comparison, the third-row tensioners in Mercedes vehicles are listed only as left and right retractor loops (B00E7/B00E6 in LI54.21-P-070658), and the GLS manual of 2017 likewise speaks of retractor tensioners. A B stage would act on the lap section, as Joyson's lap pretensioner does in combination with a retractor. If the code appears, check first whether the module's equipment coding matches the seats actually fitted.
