Condition
Customer states:
 The message “Pre sense malfunction” is displayed in the driver information system (DIS) immediately after
start of driving.
 Functions of the driver assistance systems are sporadically disrupted.
Workshop findings:
 The function of the seat belts is not affected.
The following DTCs may be stored passive/sporadic in the airbag control module, J234 (address word 0015):
 DTC B130474 (Left front belt tensioner control module, actuator deviates).
 DTC B130574 (Right front belt tensioner control module, actuator deviates).
Technical Background
Safety belts with reversible belt tensioners may be tightened at start of driving and in certain driving conditions. If
the safety belt is too loose, it will be tightened so that the belt will rest closer to the body.
In the case of this concern, the safety belt tightens immediately after start of driving once in a terminal 15 cycle or
after unfastening and refastening the seat belts.
If the customer repeatedly loosens the seat belt while the tensioner is trying to tighten it, after approximately 5
seconds, the Pre Sense malfunction message may appear and the DTC(s) B130474/B130574 may be stored in
the airbag control module.
