    fyi, my SRS light started flashin right after I pulled out my LH seat belt pretensionor assembly to tighten the spring (had lazy seat belt that wouldn't retract). I fixed the seat belt but now the light is flashing. I pulled the code with my scanner which was:
    DTC No.


    DTC
    B0135/73

    Detecting Condition
    • Short circuit between PL+ wire harness and PL- wire harness of squib
    • Airbag sensor assembly malfunction

    Trouble Area
    • Seat belt pretensioner (LH)
    • Airbag sensor assembly
    • Wire harness

    I'll pull the plastic covers off and inspect. I probably left something of or pinched a wire.

    Issue solved- After much testing looking for a short, it turned out to be a missing black retaining clip that was causing the shorting bar withing the seat belt assembly to short the pins. I lost track of clip or the need for it when I blew out the carpeting with compressed air before final assembly. Please see attached pic for black clip that opens the shorting bus when in place. Hope this helps anyone with similar problems. If nothing else, I'm pretty knowledgeable on trouble shooting gen 1 SRS problems now. Peace.
