Can a bad battery cause electrical codes?

Yes, a weak or failing battery can cause voltage drops that affect various modules and sensors, potentially triggering multiple codes. Always check battery health and charging system first.

How much do electrical repairs cost?

Electrical repairs range from $75 for a simple connector fix to $400+ for wiring harness repairs or module replacements. ECM/PCM replacement can cost $500-$1,500 including programming.

B0210

SRS Deployment Loop Circuit Resistance Out of Range

Criticalelectrical

Overview

The B0210 code indicates that the body control module has detected a srs deployment loop circuit resistance out of range condition. This relates to the vehicle's body electrical systems, which control comfort, convenience, and safety features. When this code is stored, the affected system or component may not operate correctly, potentially impacting safety or comfort features.

Symptoms

Electrical accessories malfunctioning
Vehicle going into limp mode or reduced power
Check Engine Light (MIL) illuminated
Multiple warning lights on dashboard

Common Causes

Low battery voltage or failing battery
Faulty engine control module (ECM/PCM)
Faulty alternator/generator
Corroded or damaged wiring connectors

Diagnosis Steps

1Connect an OBD-II scanner and read all stored trouble codes and freeze frame data
2Check battery voltage and charging system output with a multimeter
3Inspect wiring and connectors related to the trouble code
4Test circuit voltage, ground, and resistance with a multimeter
5Check related fuses and relays
