Restraint Deployment Signal Circuit Low
Same as P05B8 with the signal shorted to ground. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
Affected components
- Restraint signal wiring
Common causes
- High likelihood: Signal shorted to ground
- Low likelihood: Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance
- Low likelihood: Harness chafing through insulation
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
