Ive cleared the codes once already and then tried starting the car and then the 51 CODES have come back so these are 100% hard faults. I listed the important ones below, the top two are most concerning to me. This is what sparked me to try and get the seat out.

Gateway 00406 (Power Distributor, Pyrofuse Open Circuit)
AirBag B10151B (Battery Disconnect 12v - Resistance Too High)
AirBag B100661B & B10071B Belt Tensioner On Front Driver/Passenger Side Resistance Too High
AirBag B10091B Belt Tensioner Driver Side Rear Limit Exceeded
Airbag B102900 Crash Even, Rear Impact
AirBag B1071F0

So the car has obviously detected it was in an accident in the rear.

I appreciate all the feedback here guys.

Question - does the front seatbelts fired and locked during the impact? If yes - I know what may be the problem. The seatbelt is not letting the seat go forward.

We have a winner. The seat belt is fully locked up. The pass. side as well. See, too dumb for my own good. Seats out now -_-.

Yup. If those seat belts fired off in the accident they are toast. Customer approved the replacement of both belts in the front. Amazing the air bags didnt deploy. That must be a fine line.

Rear belts typically also deploy along with the front ones.

Ill check those too but I hope that the car is smarter than that. If the seat occupancy is tied to that signal responsible for firing it should be okay. ill report back for your memory bank later
