B1383Passenger seat side airbag: resistance too low

• Hyundai/Kia code · Airbag (SRS)
• Lights a warning lamp

How the car detects it

Firing circuit of the passenger seat side airbag. The circuit's resistance is too low, as from a short between its two wires. While an airbag fault is stored, the affected airbag or pretensioner may not deploy in a crash. Have it repaired before relying on it. Never probe airbag connectors with a meter: that can fire the airbag.
