PINPOINT TEST N: LFC 46/DTC B1230 - DRIVER BELT AND BUCKLE ASSEMBLY PRETENSIONER CIRCUIT RESISTANCE OUT OF RANGE


Test N1-N3:






Test N3-N4:






Test N5:






Normal Operation
The air bag Electronic Crash Sensor (ECS) monitors the resistance of the driver belt and buckle assembly pretensioner circuit by measuring the resistance between Pins C2209-24 and C2209-25. If the ECS detects low or high resistance, the ECS will store DTC B1230 in memory and flash LFC 46 (or higher priority code if one exists) on the air bag indicator.

Possible Causes
^ Damaged wiring on Circuit 1079 (LG/RD) or 1080 (LG/BK).
^ Damaged driver belt and buckle assembly pretensioner.
^ ECS internal failure.
