B00C5 Passenger Seat Track Position Restraints Sensor

Check engine lightUsually off

B00C5 reports a fault of the sensor that tells the restraint controller where the passenger seat sits on its rails. FCA uses the code with exactly this name. A 2022 STAR case for the 2021 Dodge Durango treats B00C5-13, circuit open, with the airbag lamp on: check the yellow 30-way plug I6634A under the passenger seat and make sure the seat track position return wire R730 is seated in cavity B11, using a pull-push-pull test. GPOP tips 68264880A and 9003579 for Dart, Cherokee and Chrysler 200 list B00C5-13 among codes to raise with engineering before an ORC is replaced, and ask for pins that are bent, corroded or opened up to be checked. Such sensors are usually two-wire Hall switches that change state when the rail passes.

Likely causes

Terminal pushed back or loose in the under-seat connector (FCA Durango, R730 return wire)
Lead to the track sensor pinched or torn by the moving seat
Track position sensor faulty or its gap to the rail wrong after seat work
Restraint controller internal fault, only after wiring and sensor are ruled out

Symptoms

  • Airbag warning lamp on
  • Passenger airbag deployment can no longer be adapted to the seat position
  • Safety note: airbag system; disconnect under-seat plugs only de-energised (ignition off, battery off, wait time), do not replace the restraint controller before checking pins, specialist workshop only
