Good Morning All,

A bit of back ground.

I bought a Cat N e91 2008 back in June 2019. The airbag light was intermittent with codes:

93B5 - Rear Left PreTensioner
93B6 - Rear Right PreTensioner.

Once I started to investigate the fault I found that both PreTensioners had deployed. The previous owner have to resistors attached to the wiring harness (To the Pretensioner plug) which is used to fool the ECU.

I replaced both tensioners with 2nd hand parts both test at 0.05 Ohms which are good.

I then cleared faults and 93B5 - Rear Left Tensioner doesn't delete at all. So I've stripped out the centre console to gain access to the Air bag module. I've test the wiring from tensioner to ECU continuity all OK.

Resistance at the ECU for both Tensioners read.

Rear Right Tensioner at ECU = 0.4 Ohms (No fault codes stored)
Rear Left Tensioner at ECU = 0.1 Ohms (This could be a difference in wire length?)

So I decided to have any Crash Data from the ECU and faults removed by CrashData UK. In order to keep me mobile I bought a 2nd hand ECU with the same part numbers etc.

I received by ECU back from crashData UK plugged the unit in - reconnected the battery and NO IGNITION a Red Vehicle on Ramp light.

So I took it off and made a complaint to the company (Still waiting to hear back).

I re-fitted my 2nd hand unit and now I want to code out the tensioners.

Using NCSexpert I'm able to flash the AGB Module no problem.

I've flashed the airbag module with all the tensioners coded as not active.

Now all the tensioners have come back as stored faults instead? and won't clear.

I'm going to re-flash with all the tensioners as active just to make sure I can turn the issue ON/OFF etc.

Question I have is:

If I want to code the seat belt tensioners out, do I have to code something else out along with these tensioners?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards

Id imagine that if you are disabling the rear tensioners with NCS you need to unplug them as well.
Otherwise the AGB module will detect them, see that they arent working and give you the red light.

Thanks for your reply.

That makes sense I will try later after work.

Cheers

Thank you so much for the advise.

I've disabled both rears - even the rear right (even though it's working) just didn't want this type of issue again.

For anyone wanting to conduct the same or similar issue's I've added my procedure below.

Hey trying to do this but when I code it out by changing seat belt pretensioner to nicht-aktiv I then get a fault for the rear tensioner not coded to OEM equipment same code 93b5
