What does this fault code mean?

- The CEM setting or the SRS parameter file does not agree with the car type
What you can do

- 2Have a workshop check whether the car should have a passenger airbag and whether the settings in the CEM and SRS match that
- 3Do not work on the airbag system yourself; leave it to a workshop
