DTC B0064, B0065, OR B0066
Circuit Description
The driver seat belt pretensioner deployment loop consists of a seat belt pretensioner -LF, the seat belt pretensioner -LF high and seat belt pretensioner -LF low circuits. A shorting bar used within the seat belt pretensioner connector will short together both seat belt pretensioner high and low circuits, when the connector is disconnected. This will help to prevent unwanted deployment of the pretensioner during servicing. During a frontal crash of sufficient force, the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will allow current to flow through the deployment loop, in order to deploy the seat belt pretensioner. The SDM performs continuous diagnostic tests on the deployment loops to check for proper circuit continuity, and for shorts to ground or voltage. If a malfunction is detected, a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) will be stored in memory.
DTC Descriptors
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTCs:
l DTC B0064 Left Front Pretensioner Deployment Loop Resistance Low l DTC B0065 Left Front Pretensioner Deployment Loop Open l DTC B0066 Left Front Pretensioner Deployment Loop Voltage Out of Range
Conditions for Running the DTC
Ignition 1 voltage is within the normal operating voltage range.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
l DTC B0064 will set when the seat belt pretensioner -LF deployment loop resistance is less than 1.3 ohms for 500 milliseconds. l DTC B0065 will set when one of the following conditions occurs:
. Seat belt pretensioner -LF high circuit is less than 2.4 volts and the seat belt pretensioner -LF deployment loop is more than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds.
. Seat belt pretensioner -LF deployment loop resistance is more than 4.8 ohms for 500 milliseconds. l DTC B0066 when one of the following conditions occur: . Seat belt pretensioner -LF high and/or low circuits is short to ground or short to voltage for 500 milliseconds.
. Seat belt pretensioner -LF high circuit is less than 2.4 volts and seat belt pretensioner -LF deployment loop resistance is less than 6 ohms for 500 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The SDM commands the AIR BAG indicator ON via class 2 serial data.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
l The condition responsible for setting the DTC no longer exists and the scan tool Clear DTCs function is used. l A history DTC will clear once 255 malfunction-free ignition cycles have occurred.
Diagnostic Aids
The following are possible causes of the malfunction:
l A short between the seat belt pretensioner -LF high and low circuits l An open or a high resistance in the seat belt pretensioner -LF high or low circuits l A short to ground or a short to voltage in the seat belt pretensioner -LF high or
low circuits l The seat belt pretensioner -LF connector l The SDM connector
l A malfunctioning seat belt pretensioner l A malfunctioning SDM
Thoroughly inspect the wiring and the connectors. An incomplete inspection of the wiring and the connectors may result in a misdiagnosis, causing a part replacement with the reappearance of the malfunction. If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections .
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
4: Tests to see if the malfunction is caused by the seat belt pretensioner -LF.
6: Tests to see what DTCs are present. If DTC B0064 is present, test the seat belt pretensioner -LF for a short between high and low circuits. If DTC B0065 is present, test the seat belt pretensioner -LF high and low circuits for an open and for high resistance. If DTC B0066 is present, test the seat belt pretensioner -LF high and low circuits for a short to ground and for a short to voltage.

sides of the in-line connector for the seat belt pretensioner for damage or corrosion that may cause the malfunction. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs .
Does connector exhibits any signs of damage or corrosion?
1. If the in-line connector for the seat belt pretensioner -LF is damaged, the seat belt pretensioner must be replaced. Refer to Seat Belt Buckle Pretensioner Replacement.
2. If the wiring harness side of the seat belt pretensioner connector is damaged, replace the harness side of the connector. Refer to Connector Repairs .
Did you complete the repair?
IMPORTANT: If scan tool displays multiple codes, diagnose the open code first.
1. Use J 38715-60 Adapter to connect the J 38715-A SIR Driver/Passenger Load Tool to the harness side of the seat belt pretensioner -LF connector. Use steering wheel and passenger inflator connectors.
2. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
3. With the scan tool, request the SIR DTC display.
Does the scan tool indicate that DTC B0064, B0065, or B0066 are current?
1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Disconnect and remove both the J 38715-A and adapter.
3. Disconnect the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) connector. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming.
4. Inspect the SDM connector for damage
