Front Right Seat Belt Height Adjuster Performance

Issues with the front right seat belt height adjuster.

Heads up: this code wasn't in our hand-written library yet, so DiagCoach AI built this page on the fly. Double-check critical specs against service info before condemning parts.

What it means (plain English)

The seat belt height adjuster isn't moving properly or responding correctly, which can happen if it’s stuck or if the motor in it is faulty.

What the computer is actually seeing

The computer expects to see a specific resistance or voltage from the seat belt height adjuster motor, typically around 5-12 volts when activated. If it’s out of this range or not moving at all, it sets this code.

What a healthy reading looks like

Normal operation of the height adjuster should see 5-12 volts applied to the motor when actuated.

Guided diagnostic — the DiagCoach way

Don't just throw parts at it. Walk through these in order — each step tells you whether to keep going or stop and fix what you found.

  1. 1Check the wiring and connectors at the seat belt height adjuster for damage or disconnection. Repair as necessary and retest.
  2. 2Test the voltage at the connector for the height adjuster while activating it; you should see 5-12 volts. If not, trace back to the control module for issues.
  3. 3If voltage is present but the height adjuster doesn't move, replace the height adjuster motor and retest.
  4. 4If no issues were found in the previous steps, test or replace the seat belt control module.
