What Does U0454 Mean?
The receiving module is detecting corrupted or illogical data from the right side airbag control module. This compromises side impact protection on the passenger side.
Safety Warning
Critical safety concern. Right side airbags may fail to deploy during passenger-side impact. Airbag warning light will remain on. Vehicle should not be driven until system is repaired.
Common Causes
35%
Defective right side restraints control module with circuit failure
30%
Damaged or corroded wiring/connectors to right side restraints module
20%
Faulty right side impact sensor or pressure sensor
10%
Voltage supply issue or poor ground at right side module location
5%
Water damage or corrosion from door or window leak
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Monitor right side restraints module data parameters to identify which values are invalid or implausible
2
Step 2: Inspect passenger door and B-pillar area for collision damage, water stains, or evidence of previous repairs
3
Step 3: Test power and ground circuits at right side restraints module connector; verify minimum 11V and ground resistance under 0.5 ohms
4
Step 4: Measure resistance of right side impact sensors, side airbag inflator, and related components per service specifications
5
Step 5: Replace right side restraints control module if all circuits and sensors test within specification; perform required system initialization
