Seat Belt Tensioner Deployment Control — Passenger

Understand B0062, common causes, and the right TOPDON scanner to diagnose it.

Passenger seat belt pretensioner circuit — distinct ID from B1051 on some networks.

Common symptoms

  • Airbag warning
  • Passenger side restraint fault

Typical causes

  • Passenger pretensioner connector
  • Seat swap without OCS transfer
  • Wiring fault

What scanner do you need?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Use live data and freeze frame to confirm the fault before replacing parts. ABS, SRS, and network U-codes usually require a full-system scanner.

Diagnostic tips

  • Record freeze frame data when the code first sets
  • Clear the code only after fixing the root cause
  • Check for related pending codes that point to a common issue
  • Verify battery voltage is above 12.4V before chasing sensor codes
