SeveritySeverity level 2 of 5: Not urgent.

Not urgent

Unlikely to affect driveability. Worth resolving so the light does not mask a future fault.

Standard definition

Driver Frontal Deployment Loop Short to Battery

This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.

In plain English

The driver frontal airbag deployment loop is shorted to battery voltage. This is potentially dangerous as it could cause unintended deployment; the SRS module isolates the circuit and sets the warning lamp.

A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.
