Description of the problem | November 2018, on a highway, hit a bump, and the seat belt and air bag lights came on, there was a message that the driver's side seatbelt was unfastened, even though the seat belt was securely fastened, and the seat belt chime rang continuously. About 100 miles later, i hit another bump and the lights went off and the truck stayed functioning correctly for several months. In january 2019, after starting the vehicle and fastening the seat belt, the seat belt light came back on, the air bag light came back on and the seat belt message says that it is not fastened and it chimes continuously for about five minutes. I took the vehicle to the dealership on february 20, 2019. They found a code "u0151 ocr module lost communication" and told me the ocr module would have to be replaced but it is on back order. The vehicle continues to malfunction. The vehicle has not ever been in any accidents that would have deployed the air bags. The vehicle has less than 73,000 miles on it. I am uploading several pictures. The first is the dashboard showing the lights on and seatbelt unfastened message even though i had the seatbelt fastened. The second is a picture of the ocr module which i looked at to make sure it didn't have any loose wires. And the third is the diagnostic report from the dealership. |
