    Driver restraint system

    I did a little searching but don't see my scenario. Appreciate any help with tips to solve. I'm certain I forgot something dumb. I already realized I was stupid to not unhook the battery before this project...

    Removed the driver's seat from the car to replace the seat cushion. Original was cut by previous owner and I finally am getting around to fixing.

    Reinstalled the seat and now get a Driver Restraint System error on the dash.

    I did unbolt the seatbelt. Something with the tensioner?
    Do I need to reset the fault with a scanner?

    I did unhook the battery for 15 mins with no luck.

    Appreciate any thoughts here.

    Try clearing faults if you don’t have equipment a shop is going to have to do it

    It is probably the seatbelt buckle. Is it connected properly?

    Found a friend with a nice Launch Torque scanner. It cleared the fault and appears to be gone. Fingers crossed.
