B00DF: Passenger Restraints Disable Switch

Standardized SAE J2012 code · B00xx — Restraints and airbags

Safety-critical system. Faults in airbags, brakes, steering or high-voltage components can put people at risk. Follow the manufacturer's service information and safety procedures, or have the vehicle checked by a qualified workshop.

What does B00DF mean?

The code tells you which monitor failed, not which part is broken. Test before replacing parts.

  • Comfort or safety function impaired
