No airbags deployed in accident but I still get code B1086?

[Twanny]

My 07 Maxima was in a crash in the rear no airbags deployed but code does read, B1086 pretensioner left front (open). Anyone that knows how to fix this please let me know I have no idea what part to take out and send for repair or replace. The dealership wants way too much money and to replace all airbags!

Why is My Airbag Light On?

When your car detects a malfunction within the airbag module, it disables the airbags and your airbag light will remain on or start flashing. The airbag light may indicate a problem with the airbags themselves, or with wiring, airbag sensors, or the computer. If your airbags have been deployed, the airbag module will need to be reset before it can properly function again.

While the airbag light is on, your airbags will not deploy in the case of an accident, so it is important to get your vehicle looked at right away to find out why your airbag light is on. An experienced technician can locate the exact problem and provide a solution with our expert airbag module reset services.

My Airbags Did Not Deploy During An Accident: Are They Broken?

If your airbag light disappears after starting your car, your airbags should be working properly. Airbags do not deploy during every accident, and the airbag module and impact sensors work together to determine which accidents will trigger airbag deployment. Your car takes speed, occupancy sensors, and accident direction into account when your vehicle is involved in an accident.

If your car has not reached a certain speed, usually between 8-14 mph, your airbags will not deploy to avoid injuring drivers or passengers during a low-speed crash. If your passenger seat does not detect the weight of an adult, your passenger airbag will not deploy. Airbags also consider the direction of the crash through impact sensors. In the case of your vehicle being struck from the side, side airbags may deploy while frontal airbags will remain intact.
