DTC E0211 is a fault with the front right impact sensor or its wiring circuit. It is the harness from the control unit to the impact sensor.

SRS system is of safety concern and repairs should only be done by trained personnels. Mistakes can be costly and could also result in personal injuries if the airbags are accidentally deployed.
