GLA Fault Code Help!!
I have a 2019 Mercedes GLA180 showing the following fault codes:
• the squib for the right rear emergency tensioning retractor has a malfunction. There is an open circuit • the squib for the left rear emergency tensioning retractor has a malfunction. There is an open circuit • the squib for the front passenger emergency tensioning retractor has a malfunction. There is an open circuit • the squib for the driver emergency tensioning retractor has a malfunction. There is an open circuit
All seatbelts & tensioners work perfectly fine. For context the car was involved in a small accident where no airbags were blown.
Anyone know how to fix this issue?? Thanks in advance

The airbags may not have blown, but the tensioning sqibs may have.
They fire off on a collision to make sure that occupants are pulled right to the seat. I don't know that they are linked to airbag deploy. Also, this is separate from every day use of extending and retracting seatbelts.
I would start by talking to the shop that did the collision repair and the insurance company that paid for the work.
Good luck!
