Condition

Some customers may comment on the airbag light being illuminated. Upon investigation, the technician may find DTC 023 set in the Passenger Presence System (PPS).

Correction

Do This	Don't Do This
Diagnose and replace right front seatbelt retractor assembly, if necessary.	Do not replace the passenger presence system.

Verify proper system electrical connections. Inspect the passenger seat belt tension sensor signal, voltage reference, and low reference circuits carefully for cutting and/or chaffing per SI instructions for DTC 023. If all checks have been made and no fault has been found, replace the belt tension sensor.

Important: The seat belt tension sensor is not serviced separately. The seat belt retractor assembly with the tension sensor must be serviced as a complete unit.
