Subject:SIR Telltale Light Illuminating or Flashing, Code 48 Stored (Replace Wiring Harness)

Condition

Some customers may comment that the SIR Telltale Light is illuminated, flashing or comes on intermittently.

Cause

This condition may be caused by high terminal/wiring harness resistance.

Correction

Check for stored codes. If the codes are for high resistance detected by the Sensing & Diagnostic Module (SDM) for the side air bags and/or the pretensioners, install a new floor wiring harness. To install the new floor wiring harness will require removal of the seats, console, carpet, body control module and various interior moldings/trim.
