2000 Sable Airbag code 46

I have a 2000 sable and the airbag light flashes code 46. Anyone know what code that is?

Thanks.

Re: 2000 Sable Airbag code 46

Turns out the code is for Drivers side seatbelt harness and buckle.

I readjusted the wire bundles under the driver's seat, and powered the seat up off from the rear stops, and the light went out.

Go figure.

To further clarify, the device that controls that circuit is a small switch mounted on the inside driver's side seat hinge. When that switch trips closed, it causes code 46 to flash. By prying the connector from the top of the switch, it opens the circuit and causes the indicator light to function as normally expected.

That circuit is designed to not allow the airbag to deploy of the seatbelt is faulty or not installed. In my case, the seatbelt is fine, just the switch finally failed.
