SOURCE: Subaru Tech Tips

TITLE: SRS Codes 41 or 42

APPLIES TO: 03 Forester

SERVICE TIP:






If you encounter a 2003MY Forester with any of the above codes, please inspect the area shown in the accompanying photo.

Subaru has received a few calls where the wiring harness has been pinched/cut when the seat trim cover has been installed. The area to inspect is on the outboard side of the seat on either the driver's side (code 42) or passenger's side (code 41).

If no damage is seen in this area of the harness, please inspect the total length of the harness to ensure that it isn't damaged where it runs under the seat near the seat track.
