That's the correct order, if you can see the #1 then use that for #1

so it'll be:-

5  3  1
4  6  2

Paperclip it for the codes :y My guess would be a trapped sensor wire or ill-fitting connector

Paperclip test it, but it may dissapear after a few 'clean' starts.

No it won't! The EML is on cos there's a fault, when you fix the fault the EML will go out. The ECU will still log the code(s) untill you have done 20 'clean starts'  though.  ;)
The SRS/air bag system is the exception to the rule, if you fix the reason why the light came on it will still need to be reset. :y

does your reader show live data?  can help in finding the problem.

I had this on the drivers side, and it was the connector on the airbag in the seat itself......to fix, disconnect battery and wait 10 mins, seat back off, unplug, clean connector with switch cleaner, reassemble.

clear codes and hope....if you have live data capabilities, then you will be able to see if what you have done has affected the resistance of that circuit.
