Restraint system codes: airbag squibs, belt pretensioners, crash sensors and occupant classification.

An airbag light on an auction car is not cosmetic: airbags, the module and sensors can cost more than the body repair.

What to do if an auction car has this code

Ask for a dash photo at start-up: the airbag light must go off after the self-test.
Check the interior photos for deployed airbags and fired belt pretensioners: replacing the restraint module, airbags and sensors is a large separate part of the estimate.
Budget a scan with a restraint module read-out: the code alone does not say which part failed.
