Haha yeah it's been quite the odyssey so far! And yes, far too long for a sig list.
We'll get there in the end (probably).

Refresh Model S Plaid Issue: Safety Restraint System Fault and Airbag Safety Indicator

Got this alarm about a week ago and it comes back every time I start driving. I already have a service appointment scheduled for another issue and they just added it to the list. Guess I'll check under the seat for a loose connection (I know, good luck).

OK so that one is different. What bewilders me most of all is that Tesla Service seem to have no idea what these errors are, despite them being different codes. What's the point of specific codes if they can't tell from them what the issue stems from?! GRRRR!

I wish you luck, sir! Mine is still in the service center two days later.

Maybe you'd have had better luck if I'd spelled "wish" correctly....
My issue ended up being just a loose connection somewhere, all better now. Nameless was in service for only half a day, during which time they also replaced a flaky liftgate button and repaired a hole in my wheel well (my own stupid fault).

I had a huge repair for this back in August that took my car out for 2 weeks. They replaced the harness to dashboard. And in the recent month, it came up, i prefer not to get it fixed yet as it seems their solution hasn't worked out well. I'm curious if others have looked under the problematic seat and disconnected and connected the seat. It seems as if when I first drive and I go over a bumper road or a bump, will it trigger the dashboard warning.
I had the same message "Front Safety Restraint System Fault Refresh S" on a two-month-old Plaid. I have not found anyone who knows what the problem is, including TMC. My message is on the entire time I'm driving. Bummer!!

What’s the error code? At least it’s on 100% of the time so it will be easier to fix/know it’s fixed.

It will help if people post their actual error code. Without it we’re not going to be able to nail down which code means what…
Any updates on this? I've had this issue since driving my plaid 1mile outside the lot after taking delivery. They replaced the restraint and it went away for a few months and now it is back again. It cuts in and out on its own. I have also been having my displays freezing up since July and they could never figure out that reason. I have a schedule service in March and I wonder if it's a harness problem.
Well after I had a harness replaced mine came back on a few weeks later was on for 2 months I read somewhere behind drivers toe kick next to dead peddle could be a loose connector. so next time I drove I hit it with my foot and sure enough the light went out. I pulled back the cover and there are a bunch of clips so I made sure they were pushed in and no more problems. Drove about 300 miles so far no codes or lights
Mine seems to have come disconnected again.
Same error code: RCM2_a196
Scheduled for service March 3.

Thanks for the tip! Just wanted to ask for clarification, is it easy to pull back the cover to access the connectors? I had the dashboard harness replaced and i think it says front passenger issue, not sure if it's the connector on the passenger seat or this harness area you are talking about near the dead pedal.
yes next to dead peddle I hit it hard and light went off then I pulled it back and pushed all connectors together I did check the one under seat a few days prior
