What does this fault code mean?

The supplemental restraint system (SRS) module checks the signal that deactivates the passenger airbag. If the module finds a fault in that signal, the code is stored and the passenger airbag cannot be deactivated as intended. The SRS warning lamp and the passenger airbag deactivation (PAD) lamp come on.

Possible causes

The SRS module has identified that the passenger airbag cannot be deactivated

What you can do

1Read the code, clear it and check whether it returns after a restart
2On cars with a passenger airbag switch: have a workshop replace the switch and read the code again
3If the fault remains, or the car has no switch: have a workshop replace the supplemental restraint system (SRS) module
4Do not work on the airbag system yourself; have a workshop carry out all work on the SRS and airbags
