B1513 on Hyundai
Passenger seat belt buckle switch circuit open or shorted to battery voltage (Hyundai and Kia)
Severity: Inspect soon
The airbag light is on with this code, and Honda and Toyota owner manuals say a lit airbag light means the system should be checked promptly because the airbags may not work as designed. The belt buckle switch also feeds the restraint computer, so the passenger restraints are affected.
