I have been having the Restraint Systems Malfunction error everytime I start the car or when somebody sits in the front passenger seat. I used INPA to check the codes and just kept getting 93C3 errors which indicates an error with the OC3 (seat occupancy sensor) matt.

Meanwhile, using INPA, I also noticed I was getting a 2EF5 error which is a Thermostat heater control circuit high.

Anyway, I went to the dealer armed with the code for the thermostat and SI B 65 75 06 for the sensor matt. The dealer fixed them both within a day for free under CPO!

New sensor matt was replaced as well as a new thermostat.

Thanks to INPA I was able to find a potential problem with the thermostat before my car started to overheat! Additionally, I'm lucky these were fixed before my CPO runs out this January.

Good for you CPO took care of the cost.

Now you got that sensor fixed; you will get 10 year warranty on that fix.
