LH deployment loop Circuit resistance low
B1022 — LH deployment loop Circuit resistance low
System: Body | Type: Manufacturer-Specific | Make: Holden
B1022 is a manufacturer-specific body diagnostic trouble code recorded for Holden vehicles. It belongs to the B-prefix family of codes, which covers body, interior, airbag, or comfort-electronics faults.
When B1022 is stored, the module has detected a signal or supply voltage lower than the expected operating range.
Scanning & clearing: Body (B) codes are often stored in the body control module, airbag module, or climate module. A basic OBD-II tool usually will not read body codes — an enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is typically required.
B1022 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.
The Restraint Control Module (RCM) continuously measures the resistance of each airbag deployment loop to ensure the squib circuit is within the correct firing range. B1022 sets when the RCM detects that the left hand deployment loop resistance has dropped below the low threshold but is not a dead short, indicating a partial short between the two loop wires or an internally degraded squib. On Holden vehicles the left hand loop typically services the driver's airbag via the clockspring and in some configurations the left side curtain or thorax airbag. Low loop resistance is a serious SRS concer...
