Code 53 is related to 53 Primary Crash Sensor Circuits Resistance to Ground or Air Bag Diagnostic Fault.
This should be invistagated by a person who is qualified with SRS systems, mishandling may result in airbag deployment which can cause serious injury, while this light is on the SRS system will not deploy in a collision.
