Condition
Some customers may comment that the air bag indicator lamp, located in the instrument panel cluster, is illuminated.
Upon performing a DTC check, the technician may find a B0012-02, B0012-0E, B0013-02 or B0013-0E code stored in the supplemental inflatable
restraints (SIR) system.
Cause
This condition may be caused by a short to ground in the yellow SIR wiring harness. This wiring harness is located within the steering wheel assembly
and connects the steering wheel inflatable restraint module to the steering wheel inflatable restraint module coil. A sharp edge on the steering wheel
stamped steel horn plate may rub through the yellow SIR wiring harness insulation, allowing the harness to ground to the horn plate.
Correction
1. Remove the steering wheel inflatable restraint module. Refer to Steering Wheel Inflatable Restraint Module Replacement in SI.
2. Inspect the yellow SIR wiring harness that connects the steering wheel inflatable restraint module to the steering wheel inflatable restraint module
coil. Look for any chafing, cracks or areas where the wiring, insulation or protective wire sleeve has been damaged.
