Error B0245 concerns the airbag system or passive safety system — most often indicates damage to the passenger airbag inflator circuit (stage 2) or a short to ground in the SRS module.

OBD-II (EN): Passenger Air Bag Inflator Circuit Malfunction

Code B0245 signals a fault in the vehicle's passive safety system (SRS) — most often a problem with the passenger airbag circuit or occupant classification sensor. An illuminated SRS light means the system may not function correctly in an accident. Due to safety concerns, prompt diagnosis at a specialist workshop is recommended.

Symptoms

SRS (airbag) warning light on the dashboard; possible deactivation of the passenger side airbag system; no response from the pre-crash system or deactivation of seatbelt pretensioners; in some vehicles, a warning message on the cluster display.

Possible causes

• Damaged or broken passenger airbag squib circuit – short to ground or open circuit • Malfunction of the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) control module – internal damage or connector corrosion • Loose or corroded electrical connector at the SRS module or airbag • Faulty Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor under the seat • Mechanical damage to the wiring harness in the passenger seat area (e.g., after service intervention)
