Suzuki B1060-15 Error Code – Driver Air Bag (1st Stage) Circuit Short to Power | Complete Repair Guide
What Does B1060-15 Mean?
The Suzuki DTC B1060-15 indicates a fault in the Driver Airbag First Stage Circuit. This code means the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) control module has detected that the driver airbag first-stage igniter circuit is receiving an abnormal voltage or is shorted to the power supply. As a result, the Airbag Warning Light will remain ON and the airbag system may not function correctly during an accident.
DTC Definition

B1060-15
Description
Driver Air Bag (1st Stage) Circuit Short to Power
System
SRS Airbag System
Driver Airbag Circuit
Severity
High
The airbag system may be disabled until the fault is repaired.
Vehicles Commonly Affected
This fault is commonly found in Suzuki and Maruti Suzuki vehicles including:
Swift
Dzire
Baleno
Brezza
Ertiga
WagonR
Celerio
Ignis
S-Presso
Alto
XL6
Depending on model year and airbag system configuration.
What Is Driver Airbag 1st Stage?
Modern airbags often use:
First Stage Inflator
Provides initial deployment force.
Second Stage Inflator
Provides additional deployment force when required.
The Airbag Control Module continuously monitors both circuits. If abnormal voltage is detected in the first-stage circuit, B1060-15 will be stored.
Symptoms of B1060-15
When this fault occurs, you may notice:
Airbag Warning Light ON
Most common symptom.
SRS Warning Lamp ON
Airbag light remains illuminated on dashboard.
Fault Stored in Airbag Module
Scanner reads:
B1060-15 Driver Airbag (1st Stage) Circuit Short to Power
Airbag System Disabled
For safety reasons, the SRS module may deactivate the airbag system.
Main Causes of B1060-15
Faulty Clock Spring (Spiral Cable)
One of the most common causes.
The clock spring connects the steering wheel airbag to the vehicle wiring.
If damaged internally, incorrect voltage may be detected.
Damaged Airbag Wiring
Wires inside the steering column may be:
Cut
Pinched
Melted
Shorted
Loose Airbag Connector
Poor connections under the steering wheel can trigger the fault.
Short to Battery Voltage
The airbag circuit may accidentally contact a power supply wire.
Water Damage
Moisture inside connectors can cause voltage leakage.
Faulty Driver Airbag Module
Internal airbag igniter fault.
Faulty SRS Control Module
Rare but possible.
How to Diagnose B1060-15
Step 1
Connect an SRS-compatible scanner.
Verify:
B1060-15 Current or History
Step 2
Inspect steering wheel airbag connector.
Check for:
Loose terminals
Corrosion
Bent pins
Step 3
Inspect clock spring (spiral cable).
Many Suzuki vehicles develop airbag circuit faults due to damaged spiral cables. Similar B1060-series faults are often associated with clock spring problems.
Step 4
Check wiring continuity.
Inspect:
Driver airbag wires
Steering column harness
SRS connectors
Step 5
Measure circuit resistance.
Compare with manufacturer specifications.
Step 6
Inspect for short-to-power conditions.
Check if airbag wires are receiving battery voltage unexpectedly.
Common Repairs
Replace Clock Spring
Most common repair.
Repair Wiring Harness
Repair damaged or shorted wires.
Clean Connectors
Remove corrosion and moisture.
Replace Driver Airbag
If igniter resistance is outside specification.
Replace SRS Module
Only after complete diagnosis.
Repair Cost in India
