B2292 on Ford
Restraint System Seatbelt Pretensioner Fault
B2292 on Ford vehicles indicates restraint system seatbelt pretensioner fault. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Ford model — most commonly on Mustang. 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. Typical repair costs on Ford range from $700 to $1,800, depending on the specific model and root cause.
Common Causes of B2292
- •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

- S197 Passenger Seat Occupant Classification Sensor Fault Causing Airbag Warning and Disabled Passenger Airbag2005-2010
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.
