    INPA and airbag light

    I downloaded INPA and love the program, great job.
    This is what my error is and won't clear. I'm trying to figure out what needs replacement. I checked all the connectors and cleaned them up but still the same. Need to figure out what is next?

    It may be time for a new passenger tensioner if you’ve cleaned the contacts on the plug and it won’t reset. I see it shows active still. You could check the car side harness and make sure no wires are broke. I’m not sure voltage wise what you should see at the plug.

    Which plug contacts should I clean for the tensioner? The plug on the wire under the seat, or is it a plug right on the tensioner itself? Thx

    The plug under the seat. Get some CRC electronic cleaner and some dielectric grease. Clean,air dry and squirt some grease in the connector and re assemble. See if the fault will then reset if not then you’ll probably have to replace it

    There is also a plug at the tensioner that is worth looking at as well. But most of the time it's the one under the seat.
