Important: This bulletin only applies to the DTC Symptom codes listed below.

Technicians may encounter an intermittent or current SIR indicator on the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) with DTC(s) B0012 0E, B0013 0E, B0016 0E, B0019 0E, B0020 0E B0022, B0023 0E, B0033 0E, B0040 0E, or B0042 set in the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM).

This could be caused by a loose, missing, or broken Connector Position Assurance (CPA) retainer at the Air Bag for the set DTC.

If loose, remove the connector and reinstall correctly by first pushing the connector body in completely and then pushing in the CPA retainer completely. If the CPA is broken, missing or will not seat in the connector correctly, replace the CPA retainer with P/N 54590003 (Orange CPA) that is located in the SIR Repair Tray (J-38125-SIR) of the terminal repair kit.

If the CPA retainer P/N 54590003 (Orange CPA) cannot be located in the terminal repair kit, contact Kent Moore Tools @ 1-800-GM-TOOLS and order P/N 54590003-PKG to obtain a package of 5.
