Caution · drive with care

If the code names an airbag or SRS system, the airbag may not deploy in a crash: have it diagnosed promptly. If it names electric power steering, the assist may fail and the steering can become heavy: stop safely if that happens. If it names the brakes or park brake, have it checked before driving when braking feels abnormal. Otherwise ABS and stability control may be disabled: drive carefully, especially in wet conditions, and have it checked soon.
