Thank you for the update. However, if it’s A pillar it can’t be near the floor carpet. That’s B pillar. Any chance you can confirm with them? It’s important people know the distinction. 😅
A-pillar! It's written on my invoice and they verbally told me twice. Look behind the carpet in the area where the front door hinges are. I imagine that is where the ground is. They still label that area the lower a pillar because it is directly below it.

Right, the safety restraint system can cause a variety of error codes (depending on front/rear/side/passenger etc location). Do you by any chance recall exactly which code it was? I'm guessing not the same as the one described here? RCM2_a058.
 
Has same warning and mobile can't fix it and recommend replacing the wiring harness for $500 cdn. Appointment next month.
They fixed my rear cam wiring harness under safety recall. Airbag is more important than rear cam for sure. How is this not a safety recall?
