What does this fault code mean?
This fault is intermittent, meaning it comes and goes. The SRS module has for a while measured a resistance that is too low in the circuit to the front left seat belt tensioner. The cause is a short-circuit in the connector or signal wire, or in the tensioner itself.
Possible causes
- Short-circuit in the connector or signal wire to the tensioner, toward the SRS module
- Short-circuit in the tensioner itself, where the igniter section has too low a resistance
What you can do
- 1Read out and note the fault code, clear it, and test drive to see if it returns
- 2Have a workshop check the connectors between the module and the tensioner for contact resistance and oxidation
- 3Have a workshop check the signal wire for an intermittent short-circuit to ground
- 4The restraint system is workshop work; do not make any electrical changes yourself
