What does this fault code mean?
The supplemental restraint system module (SRS) measures the voltage in the circuit to the driver's seat position sensor. The code is stored when the voltage is too low and the incorrect value has persisted for a while. The cause may be a wire shorted to ground, contact resistance in the connections, or a short circuit in the connections.
Possible causes
- Wire short-circuited to ground
- Contact resistance or oxidation in the connections
- Short circuit in the connections
What you can do
- 1Read and note the code, clear it, and see whether it returns
- 2Have a workshop check the connectors at the module and at the seat position sensor for looseness, oxidation and contact resistance
- 3Have a workshop check the wire to ground and repair what is found
- 4Do not work on the airbag system yourself; have a workshop check it
Symptoms you may notice2
- The SRS warning light comes on
- An SRS warning message is shown
