2009 rs check engine code p1697

[Bumblspyder]

I have been testing how and when the check engine light comes on for this code - if I sit in the middle of the seat (with equal distance front and back) the alert doesn’t happen. If I sit further back in the seat, the alert comes up within a couple miles. I have taken off many panels (thinking there’s a wire rubbing somewhere) but cannot find it. Any suggestions?

That doesn't make a lot of sense but there is a switch in the seat to sense a passenger and change the calibration of the stability systems

Does seem to be a possible problem with the wiring under the seat. You could check the connection and any possible other wire damage grounding etc under there.
