Seat Occupancy Sensor Performance

Understand B2296, common causes, and the right TOPDON scanner to diagnose it.

Occupancy sensor readings inconsistent — may disable passenger airbag incorrectly.

Veelvoorkomende symptomen

  • Passenger airbag off with adult seated
  • SRS lamp

Typische oorzaken

  • Occupancy mat wear
  • Object on seat confusing sensor
  • Failed pressure sensor bladder

Welke scanner heb je nodig?

Full-system scanner (engine, ABS, SRS, transmission, service resets)

Gebruik live data en freeze frame voordat je onderdelen vervangt. ABS-, SRS- en U-codes vereisen meestal een full-system scanner.

Diagnosetips

  • Leg freeze frame vast wanneer de code voor het eerst verschijnt
  • Wis de code pas na het oplossen van de oorzaak
  • Controleer op gerelateerde pending codes
  • Controleer of accuspanning boven 12,4 V is voordat je sensoren suspecteert
