B1701 on Hyundai
Front seat belt buckle (pretensioner) circuit resistance too high (Hyundai)
Severity: Inspect soon
A high-resistance buckle circuit leaves the airbag light on and the seat belt tensioner on that seat may not work as designed. Honda's and Toyota's owner's manuals say a lit airbag light needs prompt attention because the airbags or belt tensioners may not work as designed.
