What does this fault code mean?
The airbag control module (SRS) measures the voltage to the PAD lamp, which shows that the passenger airbag is disabled. The fault is stored when the voltage is too low, and the cause can be a wire short-circuited to ground (the body) or poor contact in the connections.
Possible causes
- Wire short-circuited to ground (the body)
- Contact resistance or oxidation in the connections
- Short circuit in the connections
