This fault code has different meanings depending on model, model year or engine. Select the meaning that applies to your car.
Applies to the following models:

What does this fault code mean?
The fault applies to the rear left seat belt tensioner and is intermittent, so it only shows some of the time. The capacitance in the circuit is too high.
Possible causes
- The connector gives too high capacitance
- The signal wire to the rear left tensioner gives too high capacitance
What you can do
- 1Read off the fault code, clear it and road test the car to see whether it comes back
- 2Have a workshop check the connectors at the control module and the tensioner for oxidation and contact resistance
- 3Have a workshop check the wire to the rear left tensioner for an intermittent short to ground, and repair what is found
- 4Do not work on the airbag system or the seat belt tensioners yourself; leave the checks to a workshop
