I had the same airbag code. My scanner said passenger side occupant sensor. In my case the one in the A pillar. On this diagram it is number 11. It was a lose connection. I took pillar off and got it on tight. There are four of those sensors monitoring the movement of the passenger. One above passengers head another in the middle of headliner, the one in A pillar and one more in the center roof console

thanks. seller did have headliner repair work done before sending me the car. is it likely the trimmer knocked something loose? how hard is it to get a look at those? does the a pillar trim come off fairly easily? for the ones in the headliner, is it possible to yank down on one area and get a had in there without having to dismantle everything?

update. I found that the center sensor was unplugged most likely due to headliner work. how do I get the headliner down enough to be able to reach the plug to re-install the sensor? can I get away wiith just taking off the grab handles and accessing through sunroof opening?

you can possibly get to it by removing one side the A and B pillars, Sun visor, and say the passenger side handle bar. It will be tight. The roof will snap off retaining clips towards middle so a lite yank once the pillars and handle is removed.
