Do you know where I should look with these codes?
Battery was low so I got it charged and when I deleted the 3 codes, 2 remained.

BHAMDOC1973, My name is Ernest, and unfortunately, I'll need a lot more information in order to assist you. Was the car in a collision which caused the seatbelts/airbags to deploy?

Those two seatbelt codes usually only set when the seatbelts and/or airbag were deployed. There are two sensors/wires on each seatbelt. When a crash occurs, sensors trigger a gas charge that locks the seat belt. This can feel like an arm pulling you back into the seat. The SRS airbag light will be on after a seat belt deploys. This is because the car's SRS computer stores a code related to the system fault.

After deployment, the seatbelts will have to be repaired, and the gas charges replaced before the codes can be reset. If this is the case, I do not recommend doing that part yourself, unless you are ASE certified with experience in this subject. Otherwise, your safety will be compromised.

If this is not the case, provide me with a little more information on dash lights, any damage to the vehicle, do the seatbelts seem to operate correctly. I will try to help you further.

Was this car in an accident? This would be the result, both seat belt pretensioners must be replaced after an accident. Here is how to replace them:

B0070 - Right Side Airbag/seatbelt Deployment Loop Open
B0072 - Left Side Airbag/seatbelt Deployment Loop Open

Clear the codes once completed. You may be able to get the parts on eBay. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

Thats what I thought. All pretensioners come as one piece with the buckle I guess that's what I have to do.

Also, if you are confident to do this repair, take this note: There is a red cliplock on one of the connectors on each side of the vehicle. If you don't press that red cliplock all the way down, the codes will set again.

Thanks. I'll see what those clips are and whether am familiar with them once I get to them, I guess. I'll order one side and change it and see if the code goes away. I am guessing seat coming out, correct?

Those on eBay may also have been in an accident so they are for sale as is maybe. Not sure if all of them go bad if there was an accident.

I personally wouldn't purchase those from eBay. But if you feel comfortable, contact the seller first to be sure they weren't in an accident. If you're not 100% confident, get them from a dealership.
There's is a way to test the pre-tensioners if you know your way around a wiring diagram and a DVOM. I hope it doesn't come down to that, but if it does, remember, we're always here.
