What does this fault code mean?
The BECM receives crash signals from the supplemental restraint system (SRS) and the central electronic module (CEM), and a directly connected signal cable is checked after each drive. The code is set when the directly connected crash signal cable is too low, which may be caused by poor contact, a short circuit to ground or an open circuit in the cable.
Possible causes
- Poor contact or oxidation in the connectors
- The signal cable is short-circuited to ground
- Open circuit in the signal cable
What you can do
- 1Read and note the fault code, clear it and road test to check whether it returns
- 2Have a workshop check that the connectors in the signal cable are secure and free from corrosion
- 3Have a workshop check the crash signal cable for a short circuit to ground and for an open circuit
- 4Do not work on the airbag system yourself, have a workshop carry out the check
- 5The high voltage system should only be handled by qualified personnel, so have a workshop carry out all work on the battery and other high voltage parts
