What does this fault code mean?
The SRS control module has registered that the voltage in the circuit for the front left side airbag has been too high for a while. The fault is intermittent, meaning it has occurred at some point but may not be present right now. The cause may be a short circuit to voltage in the ignition cable or the connectors to the side airbag, or in the side airbag itself.
Possible causes
- Short circuit to voltage supply in the igniter lead or the connectors between the front left or right side airbag and the SRS control module
- Short to supply voltage inside the airbag for the front left side

- 2Have a workshop check that the connectors to the side airbag and the control module are fully engaged and not oxidised or damaged
- 3Have a workshop check that the cable to the side airbag is not chafed or pinched
- 4If the code returns: have a workshop check the cable for short circuit to voltage with diagnostic equipment
- 5Do not work on the airbag system yourself; the side airbag and its wiring are handled by a workshop
