- A faulty front impact sensor with an open circuit inside it
What you can do
- 1Have a workshop visually check the connector at the front right impact sensor and the connector to the SRS control module for loose, oxidised or corroded contacts
- 2Follow the signal line between the sensor and the SRS control module and look for chafing and crush damage
- 3Clear the code and see if it comes back
- 4If it comes back, have a workshop check the connector and the sensor with workshop tools
