Detailed Description of Error B00CB

The OBDII error code B00CB refers to a problem with the Passenger Seat Occupant Position Sensor ''E'' (Subfault). This code is part of the Body Control Module (BCM) and is related to the airbag system. The Passenger Seat Occupant Position Sensor is designed to detect the presence and position of a passenger in the front seat, which is crucial for the proper deployment of the airbag in the event of a crash.

The sensor provides information to the BCM, which then determines whether the airbag should be deployed and at what intensity. When the BCM detects a fault in the sensor, it triggers the B00CB error code, indicating a subfault in the sensor''s operation.

Possible Causes of Error B00CB
