03 DHS Airbag Light On, SDM B0041


Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I have annoying problem with my 03 Deville DHS @ 95K miles.

When the car hits a pothole or hard bump the airbag light comes on. The code read is SDM B0041 which I researched is Side Deployment Module circuit open loop. Clearing the codes doesn't turn off the Airbag Light. After a few trips the airbag light goes off so by itself. BTW, The car has never been in a accident.

I would guess either there is connector problem or a sensor is going bad. Anyone else experience this or have a solution? Any wiring diagrams would be appreciated before I start tearing apart the car looking for things.

Thanks again.

I recently had a similar code on my '98.

Found an ever so slightly corroded connecter under the passenger seat (near the rear left corner). Pulling back the lock tab, then yanking it on/off about a dozen times scrubbed it clean - no issues since.

Plugs near the floor level area are usually good suspects to start with, since they're subject to moisture, etc.

Thanks for the quick advice.

I found connectors underneath the Driver's seat which I cycled on and off, made sure the connectors were on securely.

The airbag light is currently off, so time and mileage will tell if that was the problem.

Best Regards
