1 vehicles · 1 makes · $700-$1,800 repair
Most Reported On
B2292 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Restraint System Seatbelt Pretensioner Fault.” B2292 indicates a fault in a seatbelt pretensioner circuit within the supplemental restraint (airbag) system. The restraints control module continuously checks the pretensioner squib for correct resistance, shorts, and voltage; an out-of-range reading sets this code and usually illuminates the airbag warning light. The pretensioner removes belt slack during a crash, so a fault can mean it will not deploy as designed, making this a safety-critical concern that should be repaired right away. This code is most commonly reported on 2005-2010 Ford Mustang, with repair costs ranging from $700 to $1,800.
