What does this fault code mean?

The supplemental restraint system module (SRS) measures the battery voltage, and the code is set when the control module registers that the voltage is too high. The code therefore concerns the battery voltage.

Possible causes

Fault in the generator's charging function
Fault in the battery

What you can do

1Check that the battery is in good condition and that its terminals are tight
2Have a workshop check the generator's charging function if the battery is being charged too hard
3Do not fault-trace the airbag system yourself; a workshop takes care of that
