2003 cayenne s side passenger curtain air bag

[Michael6774]

Need some help with a problem that popped up after I got the car back from the dealer. it came back with the airbag light on . was not on when the car went in for service. they said it was the side passengers side curtain airbag. they wanted  2300.00 to replace. so I purchased a new one installed it and light is still on. seems the real problem is an open or low voltage and resistance to airbag.

anyone else had this problem?

Do you know the fault code(s)?

Without them, everything is a guess.

Code comes up as p1589 .  Can not find any info on it .
