Defect Summary:	Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. the supplemental restraint system (srs) air bag warning light could illuminate due to motion of the side impact air bag wiring harness and side impact air bag wiring harness connector that mount to the adjustable seat cushion assembly. this condition only relates to the driver and/or passenger seat-mounted side impact air bag(s).
