I do have a service appointment schedule in 3 weeks for this light and some pending recalls, but I was curious and got into FORScan to see what's going on.

There's a BECM (Battery Energy Control Module) error turning the malfunction indication lamp ON:

Code: 811D8 - Restraint Event Notification (full code is B11D8:15-AF)

Additional Fault Symptom:
- Circuit Short to Battery Or Open

I've tried to search everywhere for more info but couldn't find much.

I did try to clear the error code but it came back almost instantly (looking at the EVENT_TIME in FORScan).

Other than the obvious BECM module being potentially faulty, everything seems to be working perfectly fine... no other symptoms/issues with battery, hybrid, electric, power board, etc... Is there anything I can try to do/look for? Is it safe to keep driving for another 3 weeks till my appointment?

Any help would be much appreciated (maybe others will run into this in the future)
