Got my model y just a couple days ago and this error popped up today. Anyone know what it could be exactly? I’ve seen that some similar error messages will specify the seat however this does not. On the left side of the screen, the red seatbelt/airbag icon thing is showing.

Ok awesome. I saw most people say it was a quick fix so I’m hoping the same is true. Earliest appointment at the service center was Tuesday so I shouldn’t have to deal with the error message too long

Heya - do you have any further info on what the problem was, location etc - having the same problem on a refresh Model S.

May be caused by loose wire or wire pinched by the seat adjustment. It has to do with seat sensor to allow airbags to deploy.

Tesla just let me know it's the steering control module, and they're waiting on parts, so my car will sit in service for 2 weeks...
Seems a bit odd for them to think that, but they probably know more than me?
My car just started showing the same fault code. It went away a couple times and came right back. I have a service appointment Monday and in chat they said they'll need to check connections related to the air bag circuit and believe it may be related to steering column. Hmmm

Yep, that's what I was told, too. Also waiting on an antenna part for the charge port so that the button on the charger will actually open it. Sigh.

FYI my car is in service now but they claim they fixed it by finding a loose ground on drivers side a-pillar (assuming near floor board). In the app it claims the correction was replacing steering control module but if I get further details after pickup I'll update this post.

Please do! When are you picking up your car? Would really appreciate more details since my car is literally sitting for another week while they wait for a steering control module, but if it's not necessary I could get my car back sooner...! This error only showed up after moving the seat forward and then back... so it's never sat right with me that it would be related to the steering...

Hope they solve that! Also, please see my reply again above - I just updated it.

Just reading back over this, the A pillar is the one near the dash, - not near the floor. B pillar is the one to your direct left that runs down to the floor. Did service say A pillar or B pillar?

Ok that’s up near the dash. Please do keep us posted! Sorry you’re having to wait longer.They said A pillar ground but I'll ask them again for more details when I pick up the car. So far they haven't called so I'm guessing they will keep the car overnight

Guess you never received a call then?They said A pillar ground but I'll ask them again for more details when I pick up the car. So far they haven't called so I'm guessing they will keep the car overnight
Just leaving service with my car now. Invoice says they found a loose ground bolt in lower A-pillar area. Cleaned the ground and torqued bolt to spec. Issue fixed. I haven't looked myself on the Tesla but in my Cadillac there is a major ground bolt in lower a pillar area behind the foot well carpet on the side. I imagine the Tesla has one in the same spot...directly below a pillar behind carpet.Guess you never received a call then?

Thank you for the update. However, if it’s A pillar it can’t be near the floor carpet. That’s B pillar. Any chance you can confirm with them? It’s important people know the distinction.
