What does this fault code mean?
This is an event code: it shows that the car has been subjected to a crash above a certain threshold, and does not mean that the module reporting it has a fault. The CEM has received the crash signal from the airbag system control module (SRS) both over a direct wire and over CAN communication.
Possible causes
- The car has been subjected to crash force above a certain threshold
What you can do
- 1This code is an event record, and there is no fault-tracing procedure for it
- 2Insert the key and start the car to check that it leaves crash status and starts normally
- 3Do not work on the airbag system yourself: have a workshop check the airbags, the SRS control module and the wiring after a crash
- 4Do not clear the code until the workshop has checked the airbag system
Symptoms you may notice2
- The airbag system (SRS) warning lamp may be on
- A text message may appear in the display
What the fault can affect2
- The car is put into crash status and the fuel pump is switched off
- When the key is inserted and the car is started, it leaves crash status automatically if it is working correctly
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
