B0002 Possible Causes

• Faulty driver airbag
• Driver airbag harness is open or shorted
• Poor electrical connection in driver airbag circuit

How is B0002 Code Repaired?

Start by checking the “Possible Causes” listed above. Visually inspect the related wiring harness and connectors. Check for damaged components and look for broken, bent, pushed out, or corroded connector pins.

When is the Code Detected?

If the restraint control module detects a short circuit between the driver airbag stage 2 circuits and another SRS component’s circuits, it sets this DTC and the corresponding SRS component’s detected fault code (DTC).

Possible Symptoms

B0002 Meaning

The restraint control module (RCM) monitors all deployable device and sensor circuits for a coupled signal (short) between circuits. If the RCM detects a short circuit between one device’s circuits and another device’s circuits, it will store a DTC for each of the signal cross-coupling faults in memory. The RCM sends a message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to illuminate the airbag warning indicator. When a normal loop fault is present (a loop is either shorted to battery/ground, open circuit, or low resistance), then the signal cross-coupling diagnostics will not be active. Once the normal loop fault is repaired, the signal cross-coupling diagnostic resumes.

The driver’s side airbag is located in the center of the steering wheel. The front passenger side airbag is located in the front passenger side dashboard. Airbag modules adopt dual stage inflators for the driver’s side and/or front passenger side airbag according to specifications. Dual stage inflators enhance airbag effectiveness by properly adjusting the timing when both inflators are activated (simultaneously or sequentially) based on collision speed or impact severity.

When powered, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) sends a test current to the squibs to verify the integrity of the squib and wiring. These circuits are maintained in a floating configuration at the ORC (neither connected to power nor ground) as protection against accidental deployment. Use the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) loading tool kit to test and replace a suspected squib with a known good component. Using the SRS loading tool adapter provides a test point as well as a method to open the shorting bar connections in the ORC harness connector.
