B0015 on GMC
Driver seat belt pretensioner firing circuit fault
Severity: Inspect soon
The air bag computer cannot confirm the driver seat belt pretensioner circuit, so the belt may not tighten in a crash. When B0015 appears together with a deployment-commanded code, owners report the belt has already fired and the parts need replacing.
It gets more serious if:
- Stop: Stop if B0052 (deployment commanded) is stored with B0015, the belt locked or retracted hard on its own, or the light is on after a collision. Nissan service material notes some air bag codes mean parts have deployed and must be replaced.
This page covers only what differs on GMC. For what B0015 means, the ranked causes and the test order, see the B0015 guide.
