Drive gentlyYou can drive it, but take it easy and get it looked at soon – waiting usually makes the repair bigger.

Check this first

Airbag and body codes need a proper scan tool for that make – don't guess with them.

Never work on airbag parts yourself – they can go off. Leave those to a shop.

What usually fixes it

In the order a good shop checks them. Typical total: $114–$1,225 at $130 an hour.

  1. Connector under a seat or in a door

    $114–$312

    Loose plugs cause many airbag and body codes.

  2. Module or sensor

    $358–$1,225

    Airbag, lighting or comfort parts.

This is the advice for this family of codes – Drive DTC doesn't have advice written for B0002 on its own yet.

Code titles are the generic SAE definitions. Prices are typical US parts and labor for a common car or light truck – a guide for judging a quote, not a quote. Always confirm a repair against the vehicle in front of you.

A stored code is a headline, not the story. The vehicle also holds the conditions from the moment the code set, how close each part is to the limit it fails at, what the fuel trims are doing, and whether the fault is still happening. Drive DTC reads all of it with a USB adapter and a Windows PC – read-only by design.
