2013 Explorer sport airbag light on, B0002 code assistance needed

[slagdemon]

Recently the airbag light came on and I scanned it and got a B0002, Driver's Frontal Stage 2 deployment control code. The only thing we've had done recently is a body shop took the front bumper off, repainted it, and put it back on. It was about a week later that the code came up. I can clear it, but it comes right back. Sometimes it takes a mile for it to come on, sometimes immediately. What should I be looking at? Is this an issue with the front bumper sensor or is this commonly something else in the steering wheel or under the dash? Not a whole lot of info out on this error.

I'm hoping that a wire is loose or something similar, but am unsure where to check. I'd hate to bring it to the dealer and have them charge me for a few hours labor for a loose wire.

Welcome to the Forum.
Although that particular code hasn't been posted here before, I believe a similar issue was. I think the issue was one of the front impact sensors which could have been affected in the bumper removal.

So, C1465 probably has a partially attached sensor wire, or crimped/cut wire going to it is my guess. That gives me a place to start. Thank you.
