Front Seat Airbag and Seat Belt Tensioner

bake · 10-29-2021, 11:26 AM

Does anyone know if a front seat airbag was deployed that the seat belt tensioner was deployed as well? Bought fox red seats with a drivers side seat airbag deployed. I replaced the airbag but still getting a seat restraint error code. At first thought it was a coding issue because we are trying to code out the active head restraints because my car is a 2013 and the seats are out of a 2008. But now I am thinking I need to replace the seat belt tensioner as well. Unfortunately don't have access to ISTA to confirm at the moment.

Yes this this sensor is used to calculate deployment of the airbag

Thank you. So for clarity, this needs to be replaced as well?

I have these coming off my car in the coming days if you need to source one.

Thanks. I actually have already, just didn't realize I needed to swap this along with the airbag.
