2002 Cadillac Deville Air Bag Light

I think he means he put black tape over the IPC warning light.


I added a pic showing the seat pretensioner.

Right. And putting black tape over the light means it's still on

This is a common problem, both driver and passenger.

Check the connector as Logan suggests. Often when beverages spill it gets down there.

If the connection is clean, most likely the pretensioner is bad - assuming the wiring harness is OK (usually is). They're not that expensive, roughly $150 or so list. Did two on STS in the last few months, 98 and 02. You'll have to pull the seat for replacement, or at least unbolt it and shift it out of the way to gain access to the pretensioner retaining bolt.

Mine just did the same thing, the code was able to be cleared and it has not came back in yet. Kids jammed the floor mat under the seat, hopefully that was the cause if it.

Hi - my airbags deployed from a minor crash on my 2002 seville sts. I have replaced the airbags and the SDM module, but havent been able to track down the pretnsioners. Does anyone know where I can buy them online? Thanks!

Ah, never mind, I found a site. 250$ once all is said and done for driver and passenger pretensioners, but at least I found em! Now to just figure out how to install them....
