Having trouble figuring out this code b1167 on the vehicle listed above. The code says short to ground on (LH) airbag curtain I started off by resetting the code and it comes back instantly. Then I went to the yellow plug for the airbag located on the rear driver passenger pillar/quarter panel plug is fine. I tried to check for continuity couldn’t get any feedback. Also, the air bag light never illuminates on dash for some reason.

Disconnect the battery. I would look at the wiring, also check the airbag warning light bulb to make sure it is good, I have seen the airbag control module go bad or it will have a bad connection at the module.

B1167 - Open in Side Squib (LH) Circuit

I would remove the connector at the LH airbag and the module to look for corrosion. If everything looks okay, I would replace the module. Here is the location of the module. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
