Every time when the airbag light comes on in my dashboard, was the same error code. I cleared the conectors, i checked the wires, but nothing happened. After i cleared the error using DIS, in a few days it come back again and i do that at least ten times. I will change the seat belt buckle and see what is happen
Thank you!

Kyle, is there a way to test BST cable? Or, is there a way to bypass BST cable (just for testing purposes)?

That's a good question. If I get a chance I'll turn my other laptop and look in DIS.

What exactly is your error saying? The BST can be checked with multimeter. There is an option to increase the resistance threshold by using NCS Expert, if you have abnormal resistance in the BST. That way you won't need to remove it (by applying resistor directly to the cables) and it will continue to perform its function.

I don't think is a BST issue because i don't have any error on BST
How can i chek BST cable with a multimeter?

The BST is not your problem. I just saw the screenshot of the error. The BST throws 9AFF error, yours is 9AF4. I would suggest to clear all connectors starting from the ones under the seats (yellow ones). SFZ if I'm not mistaken is located under the armrest and can be seen if the panel under the rear vents is removed, but to disconnect the connector you should disassemble the armrest.

Checking the BST with multimeter can be done by unplugging the small (2pin) connector which is located above the positive battery cable. I don't know the resistance which would indicate if it works or not by heart though.

Almost They are two pieces of one part. The Tensioner is underneath the buckle, there is a connector there. Most of the time there is a lot of dust there so it might be a good idea to clean those too.
