What does this fault code mean?
The airbag control module (SRS) monitors the wire carrying the crash signal to the central electronic module (CEM). The fault is stored when the signal is too high, which can be caused by the wire having come into contact with voltage, a short circuit in the connections, or contact resistance and oxidation.
Possible causes
- Wire short-circuited to voltage
- Short circuit in the connections
- Contact resistance or oxidation in the connections
