Seat Belt Tensioner: Description and Operation
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
DESCRIPTION
The Seat Belt Pretensioners (BPT) are installed inside the center pillar (LH & RH). When a vehicle crashes with a certain degree of frontal impact, the
pretensioner seat belt helps to reduce the severity of injury to the front seat occupants by retracting the seat belt webbing. This prevents the front
occupants from thrusting forward and hitting the steering wheel or the instrument panel when the vehicle crashes.
CAUTION: Never attempt to measure the circuit resistance of the Seat Belt Pretensioner (BPT) even if you are using the specified tester. If the circuit
resistance is measured with a tester, the pretensioner will be ignited accidentally. This will result in serious personal injury.
