93094F
High93094F — Front Passenger Knee Airbag
Description
What the Code Means
Code 93094F points to a short to ground in the front passenger knee airbag circuit. The ACSM (Advanced Crash Safety Module) detects unexpectedly low circuit resistance, usually caused by wiring chafing against the metal support tubes under the dashboard. This triggers the airbag warning light and a check control message.

Causes and fixes
Diagnosis and Repair
Step 1
Remove the center console to access the ACSM.
Step 2
Remove the trim panels under the dashboard.
Step 3
Cut off the damaged harness connectors and insulate the wire ends.
Step 4
Install new repair harnesses from the ACSM to both knee airbags (the original part number is not listed in the TSB).
Step 5
Apply felt tape to the edge of the console support to protect the wiring from chafing.
Possible secondary damage
Secondary Damage
Ignoring the fault can lead to a permanent short, which may disable the airbag system or cause it to deploy on its own. In a crash, the knee airbag may fail to deploy, increasing the risk of injury.
