718 Boxster/Cayman (982)
Model Year:

2017 - 2018

Customer Concern:

The driver receives an airbag warning in the instrument cluster.

Technical Concern: The workshop confirms the customer’s observation along with one or more of the following fault
codes:

• 002502: Key-operated switch circuit 1, short circuit to B+

• 002602: Key-operated switch circuit 2, short circuit to B+
These faults refer to a key-operated, airbag-off switch that is not available as an option in the United States. However, the wiring up to connector X050.1A1 is installed in these vehicles. This wiring
runs toward the right side of the dash. (On vehicles built for other markets, the switch is installed in
between the right side of the dash and the passenger door).
Service Information: Locate the connector behind the glove box, and then verify its 3 wires, including the two that go
back to the Airbag CU at pins A52 and A26. In some cases, moisture and corrosion are present in
this connector. If so, clean the connector. Also, rework the connector and wiring so as to prevent
future moisture damage. As necessary, replace the connector, pins, and wiring to prevent issue
recurrence.
As always, be sure to document the complaint completely in PQIS. For this repair, use the following
coding for the cause:

Cause Symptom:
