Summary

14166a - customer satisfaction (revised net item allowance). Certain vehicles have driver and passenger seat side impact airbag (siab) wiring harness connectors that may have high resistance. The vehicle sensing and diagnostic module (sdm) interprets the high resistance as a fault. A fault will illuminate the airbag readiness light and turn on a “service air bag” driver information center (dic) message. The fault and the warning indicators may be intermittent. Depending on the level of resistance, the siabs may not deploy in a crash. Remove the driver and passenger siab wiring harness connectors and install electrical jumper wires in their place.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 73 complaints in the airbags category.
