What it means (plain English)
This code means the computer isn't getting a proper signal from the left rear seat belt switch, which tells whether the seat belt is buckled or not.
What the computer is actually seeing
The computer expects a near zero-volt signal when the seat belt is unbuckled and around 5 volts when buckled.
What a healthy reading looks like
0V (unbuckled) to 5V (buckled) from the seat belt switch.

- 1Check seat belt switch wiring for damage or disconnection.
- 2Inspect the connector at the seat belt switch; ensure it's clean and secure.
- 3Measure the voltage at the seat belt switch connector while buckling and unbuckling; expect 0V unbuckled and near 5V buckled.
- 4If voltage readings are off, replace the seat belt switch. If readings are good but the code persists, suspect a faulty SRS control module.
