What does this fault code mean?
The fault is intermittent, so it may not be present right now. It is a cable fault on the circuit to the rear left side impact sensor, where the voltage has been too high or too low for a while.
Possible causes
- The signal wire is intermittently short-circuited to supply voltage, giving a signal that is too high
- The sensor at the rear left may be faulty, giving a signal that is too high
- The signal wire is intermittently short-circuited to ground, giving a signal that is too low
What you can do
