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 04, 0E; B0013 04, 0E; B0016 04, 0E; B0019 04, 0E; B0020 04, 0E; B0022, B0023 04 0E; B0033 04, 0E; B0040 04, 0E; B0042 and B044 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.
