The Seat Belt
Pretensioners (BPT) are installed inside 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.

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. |
