What does this fault code mean?
The SRS control module has registered that the resistance in the circuit for passenger airbag stage 2 has been too low for a while. The fault is intermittent, meaning it has occurred at some point but may not be present right now.

Possible causes
- Short circuit in the ignition cable or the connectors between the airbag and the SRS control module
- Short circuit in the airbag, so that the igniter has too low a resistance
