B00F6Third Row Center Inflatable Seat Belt Deployment Control
- Generic OBD-II code · Body
- How the car detects it
- B00F6 names the deployment circuit for an inflatable belt at the middle seat of row three. That seat is the least likely place for such a belt: the series systems on record sit at outboard rear seats, Ford's Explorer only in row two and Mercedes' beltbag on the outer rear belts. The 2017 Mercedes GLS manual, for a three-row SUV, lists pyrotechnic tensioners and force limiters for its third-row belts, but no beltbag there. NHTSA's belt test series likewise used the inflatable Explorer belt from a second-row seat. Joyson's belt-attached restraint study for new interior layouts shows where such bags might spread. No maker publishes B00F6; if set, the airbag lamp is on and that belt would not inflate.
