What does it mean?

B1332 is a Body (airbags, seat belts, body electronics) fault code. It indicates: PFIS Harness Short To Power .

Symptoms

  • Airbag warning lamp on and the restraint system disabled
  • Passenger airbag and pretensioners may not deploy in a collision
  • The fault reappears immediately after clearing
  • No effect on engine performance or driveability
  • Corrosion or previous accident damage may be visible at the front of the vehicle

Likely causes

  • Chafed loom at the front of the vehicle touching a power feed or an exposed terminal
  • Water and corrosion inside the front sensor connector bridging the circuit to an adjacent supply pin
  • Damage after front-end repair, bumper or headlamp removal
  • Internally failed impact sensor pulling the circuit up to supply
  • Aftermarket accessory wiring routed against or spliced into the restraint loom
  • Bent or backed-out terminal in the restraint control module connector
  • Rodent damage to the front harness

How to fix it

  1. Disconnect the battery and wait the specified time before handling any restraint connector
  2. Unplug the passenger front impact sensor and measure both harness wires for voltage with the ignition on
  3. Follow the loom across the front of the vehicle and look for chafing against power feeds
  4. Inspect the sensor connector for corrosion, moisture and a properly locked connector
  5. Remove any aftermarket wiring routed alongside or spliced into the restraint harness
  6. Repair the harness with the approved restraint repair method or replace the affected section
  7. Replace the impact sensor if it is internally shorted, then clear codes and confirm the airbag lamp extinguishes after its self-test
