The official notice
Defect
On certain vehicles, the wire harness connecting the Belt Tension Sensor (BTS) and the Occupant Detection Sensor (ODS) control unit under the front passenger seat can experience relative movement, possibly caused by vehicle vibration or passenger loading on the seat cushion. The movement may cause the pin & sleeve terminals in the connecter to rub against each other. This could lead to a signal interruption from the BTS to the ODS control unit. If a signal interruption is detected, the passenger airbag is designed to suppress and, if this occurred, the red supplemental airbag warning light would flash & the amber front passenger airbag status light would illuminate to alert the vehicle operator that the passenger airbag is not operating. In a crash, non-operative airbags could increase the risk of personal injury or death.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will secure the Belt Tension Sensor harness connector.
