Hi Loren,

I'm back in the dealer as a tech again. This code is very common, its a bad electrical connection at the side air bag connectors under the seats, for the 04 m.y. there is a service action campaign that should be covered under warranty. He would have to call into the dealer and ask if he has any outstanding campaigns on his car.

Ciao :rolleyes:

I have drivers side airbag ignition circuit Durametric error code 1587 I tried reseting it with duramtric, but it keeps coming back. ANy Idea how to fix it ... or do I have to bring to dealer. I still have CPO.

Fault code 1587 -- Driver’s airbag ignition circuit (stage 2)

Possible cause of fault:

- Upper limit value exceeded (based on the resistance value of the driver’s airbag unit and the wiring between the airbag triggering unit and the driver’s airbag unit)

- Lower limit value not reached (based on the resistance value of the driver’s airbag unit and the wiring between the airbag triggering unit and the driver’s airbag unit)

- Short circuit to B+

- Short circuit to ground

- Contact unit between steering wheel and vehicle faulty

- Driver’s airbag unit faulty

- Triggering unit for airbag faulty

Not sure you really want to mess with an airbag - since you have CPO this may be a good time to use it.
