OBD2 Car ScannerWhat does B00B2 mean?
B00B2 stands for Driver Seat Occupant Classification Sensor "C" (Subfault). A body control module has found a fault in a comfort or safety system such as airbags, lights, doors, seats or climate control.
Body codes cover the airbags, seats, lights, doors and comfort systems. When the car's computer sees a reading outside its normal range, it stores this code and may turn on a warning light on the dashboard.
Common causes
- Damaged wiring or a loose connector (often under seats)
- Faulty switch, sensor or motor
- Low battery voltage
- Faulty body control module
What to do
- Read all stored and pending codes with a scanner. Several codes together often point to one cause.
- Note the freeze frame data (speed, temperature, load) recorded when the code was set.
- Inspect the wiring and connectors of the part named in the code for damage, corrosion or looseness.
- Fix the most likely and cheapest cause first, then clear the code and drive to see if it comes back.
