Airbag error 12 & fuse 4 instantly popping

[Melliott574]

I had the exact same issue Fuse kept blowing with code 12, My turned out to be the module, a simple voltage regulator thing inside the module. View attachment 34117

I removed the “capacitor” and tested it on the car and it worked, got code 52 then reset the system. Ordering new module now

you removed it, did you replace it?

I don't think that type of cap is polarized meaning it has a +/- end that needs to bee aligned, but when yo get it look right above the legs and see if there are any markings/indicators that might signal this.

How did you remove the top plastic cover from the SN95 module? I have disengaged the tabs along the two long sides but something is still holding it on the end where the connectors are.
I have not removed the module from the metal bracket since it looks like there are two screws coming from inside the module going into the bracket.

Well I see the dude Melliot hasn't been on since April of '24 lol and not sure if he's the OP. I'm having an issue right now also that I'm chasing and gotta see about getting to the module, haven't researched getting to it yet and if the radio center console part only needs to be removed or the actual center console where the park brake is. I have reset the air bag light twice and the code went away for , well I only driven the car a few times each time and it's been sitting and then probably around the 2nd or 3rd the light came back on. So I didn't check the fuse right away to see if it's blowing but the light didn't come right back on if the fuse did in fact blow right away.

If the module is unplugged and you replace the fuse, can you even diagnose that as if the fuse doesn't blow, it must be the module? I'd think everythign has to be connected for the system to see it anyway and blow the fuse??
