This is more commonly called the seat belt retractor.

NOTE : Be VERY careful, as the Pretensioner has a pyro load in it, and can discharge !! You might want to consider having a dealer look at this, as SRS diagnostics require specialized equipment to diagnose.

It is at the bottom of the B-pillar, behind the plastic trim panel.

Q1. Have you had the seat out as of late ?
Q2. Do you have a flow through console, and if so have you been doing work in there ?

The RCM once it has crash data signals the Pretensioner to fire the pyro in it, to lock the seatbelt into place, tight.

The RCM is located in the center console if memory serves me correctly this AM.

The pretensionor circuit connector is under the seat, a light green w/ red stripe wire and Light green w/ black stripe wire.

Again, any checking with the SRS in this circuit could cause the pretensioner to discharge, and cause serious INJURY or DEATH.
Sorry have to give the same warning the EVTM has, just so you know what you are in for with this.
