    After the seat belt receiver stopped holding the seat belt, I drove with no seat belt for a few days. There was no light and so no code.

    I have done the safety bulletin and replaced the wire and connector to the seat belt pretensioner. I don't think it matters how the wires are connected together since in the description it states, "a pin assignment of the repair leads is not relevant ". I think the next step is to repair the pretentioner.
    My ideas are running low. I brought it to a repair shop and 150 dollars later same result.

    The codes are for the circuit, not the tensioner itself

    I would start by checking for continuity

    FINALLY my airbag light is off after being annoyed for two years.
    One time 2.2 ohms per tensioner or 4.4? Didn't understand well since there is 2 wires per tensioner
