B1B06 on Jeep
Driver Airbag Squib 2 Circuit Open
B1B06 on Jeep vehicles indicates driver airbag squib 2 circuit open. Au7o has documented this code across 2 Jeep models — most commonly on Grand Cherokee, Wrangler. B1B06 is a body/restraints code, commonly seen on Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep (and used by other makes), indicating the airbag control module detected an open or high-resistance condition in the driver airbag squib 2 deployment circuit. The squib is the initiator that fires the airbag, and the module continuously tests this circuit; an open reading means the airbag may not deploy in a crash. This is a safety-critical fault that illuminates the airbag warning light and should be diagnosed by a qualified technician without delay. Typical repair costs on Jeep range from $150 to $1,200, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of B1B06
- •Faulty clock spring / spiral cable in the steering column
- •Damaged or disconnected driver airbag connector
- •Open or broken wiring in the squib circuit
- •Corroded airbag harness terminals
- •Faulty driver airbag (squib) module

B1B06 on Jeep by Model
Jeep Grand Cherokee(1 issue)
- Second-Row Seat Side Airbag Connector/Occupant Restraint Fault Warnings2022-2024
Owners of WL-generation Grand Cherokee models have reported persistent airbag warning lights and restraint system messages tied to seat wiring/connectors, especially around second-row or seat-mounted side airbag circuits. FCA also issued safety actions/TSB guidance on certain restraint-related faults in this generation. The practical problem is that the SRS may be disabled or operate improperly until the connector, harness, or module issue is corrected.
Jeep Wrangler(1 issue)
- Clock Spring Failure Causing Airbag Light, Horn, and Cruise Control Loss2000-2006
A common TJ/LJ Wrangler failure is the steering column clock spring wearing out internally, which breaks electrical continuity to the driver airbag, horn, and cruise-control switches. Owners typically report an illuminated airbag light along with an inoperative horn and cruise control. This was widespread enough to generate many owner complaints and a Jeep recall campaign on certain vehicles.
