B1997 37 24 Passenger Side Air Bag Circuit Shorted to Ground GO to Pinpoint Test X .
B1996 37 25 Passenger Side Air Bag Circuit Shorted to Battery or Ignition GO to Pinpoint Test Y .
B1998 37 26 Passenger Side Air Bag Circuit Resistance High GO to Pinpoint Test Z .
B1999 37 27 Passenger Side Air Bag Circuit Resistance Low GO to Pinpoint Test AA .

Start by looking over the wiring to the yellow connector under the front passenger seat. It may just need reseating or a wire repaired.

Hi
I have the same problem, i pulled the airbag fuse by mistake. Now I can't get the light to go off on the dash. Does the vechicle have to go to the dealer so they can reset the computer?
I tried removing the battery cables, but that didnt't help.
Thanks

Glad you are fixed up barnbridge..

jimthor, if you just triggered the power feed lost code, which I believe is code 51 or 52, then it should clear itself after so many cycles with no further faults, how many I cant remember. Otherwise you would have to go to the dealer and get it cleared with a scan tool.
