Ford Mustang · 2005–2010
On 2005-2010 Mustangs, the passenger seat occupant classification system (OCS) can fail or become inaccurate, illuminating the airbag warning lamp and causing the passenger airbag to be disabled. Ford issued Customer Satisfaction Program 15B24 for certain vehicles because the OCS may not properly detect an adult occupant. Owners commonly report an airbag light, 'pass airbag off' staying on with an adult seated, and failed state inspections.
Common Symptoms
- Airbag warning light illuminated
- Passenger airbag off indicator stays on with adult passenger
- SRS fault messages
- Failed safety inspection due to airbag light
How to Fix
Scan the restraints control module for OCS-related faults and verify passenger seat weight sensor operation with IDS or equivalent capable scan tool. Repair typically involves replacing the passenger seat cushion/OCS mat or related seat sensor components, then performing the required OCS calibration procedure. Wiring under the seat should also be inspected for connector damage or high resistance before replacing parts.

Frequently asked questions
What does B2292 mean?
B2292 stands for "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.

The most common causes of B2292 are: Failed seatbelt pretensioner (squib out of resistance range), Damaged or chafed wiring to the pretensioner, Corroded or loose connector at the buckle/retractor, Connector unplugged after seat or trim service, Restraints control module fault, Previous deployment / used pretensioner installed.
