1 vehicles · 1 makes · $150-$600 repair
Most Reported On
B1B00 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Driver Airbag Squib 1 Circuit Low.” The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC / airbag control module) continuously measures the resistance of the driver frontal airbag squib 1 (initiator) circuit. B1B00 sets when that measured resistance falls below the specified window, indicating one or both squib 1 lines are shorted to ground or to each other rather than presenting the normal initiator resistance. The ORC disables airbag deployment on that circuit and illuminates the airbag warning lamp. This code is most commonly reported on 2017-2022 Jeep Compass (Sport, Latitude, Limited, Trailhawk, High Altitude), with repair costs ranging from $150 to $600.
