Driver Frontal Stage 2 Deployment Control

Moderate severity

What it means

The SRS module has detected a fault in the deployment control circuit for the second stage of the driver frontal airbag. Dual-stage airbags use two charges for severity-dependent deployment — this code indicates the high-severity stage cannot be triggered reliably.

Is it safe to drive?

Use caution

The vehicle is usually drivable for short distances, but the problem can worsen or affect emissions. Diagnose and repair as soon as practical.

Most likely causes

  • Clock spring damaged or worn

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Stage 2 squib circuit open or shorted

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • SRS control module fault

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
