Hi,

No, if you have a '97, then you do not have the pyrotechnic seat belt tensioner. But, the standard tensioner is not serviceable, so if yours isn't operating properly, the only fix is to replace it. The 986 and 996 use the same tensioners, so you may find a used one for less $$ at on of the known dismantlers. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
