Seems they need to be replaced along with a belt buckle repair kit that fixes the electrical contact issues.

I ordered a durametric to read the codes for the new module and to reset the light after I replaced the faulty module.

Should I take the belt buckle errors at face value and repair/replace them?

The belt buckle issue is not always applicable to our cars, especially if its a import like mine, and it has an ROW buckle set matched to a USA market SRS module.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello,
I have a 2001 C2 996 that was imported to Canada from Japan recently. Prior to departing Japan, the car displayed no fault codes of any sort. During its transit to Canada I imagine the car was improperly jumped many times. I found the fuse box and battery cover misplaced when it arrived at my place.... so obviously the people moving the car didn't take care in properly jumping it. When I turned it on for the first time I found a airbag warning light on the dash. I have taken the following steps so far;
I took the car to an indy who read out the codes as 3 and 195. The module was fried from the improper jumps.
I proceeded to order a used module part# 99661821901 to replace my module of the same type. The used part was from a 2001 C2 and the production date was within 10 weeks of the original.
I ordered a durametric to read the codes for the new module and to reset the light after I replaced the faulty module.
I installed the used module and reset the codes.
I was then left with codes for "driver and passenger belt buckles" I believe they were 46 and 49 or so. These codes are persistent and reappear after a reset nearly instantly.
I understand that the SRS module can be locked to a car, however the module appears to be working and is arming the airbags as there are no airbag related warning codes. Does this lock matter in this case if the donor car is nearly identical in equipment?
Should I take the belt buckle errors at face value and repair/replace them? These items appeared to have worked normally before its journey....
Is it possible the loom or contacts became damaged during the events that led to the SRS module needing to be replaced.
The car is in nearly mint condition with only 60k km on it. I do not think this is a dust/dirt issue. My temp permit has expired and I will not be able to get another one at this time. My only options are to fix the car myself or transport it to the dealer many many Kms aways. I would like to avoid the cost of a brand new SRS module, esp if the problem is not with that but somewhere else in the system.
Any help you guys can provide would be great!
I also have a car imported from Japan. The airbag light came on a couple weeks ago. I will be taking it in to get diagnosed, but everything I am reading indicates that the belt buckles are the items giving the air bag warning light. Seems they need to be replaced along with a belt buckle repair kit that fixes the electrical contact issues.
So I ended up finding out from a member on the renntech forum that the Japanese 996's do not have the same belt buckle wiring scheme as North American cars. Take a look at my thread

, there is some really good info that is applicable only to rest of world (ROW) cars. The belt buckle issue is not always applicable to our cars, especially if its a import like mine, and it has an ROW buckle set matched to a USA market SRS module. I am in the process of trying to get my SRS module coded to accept the ROW buckles to clear my above issue.
