On the C8 that fault code is normally caused by a faulty splice under the carpet near the sill, if I remember right you need to take the seat out to get to it, you cut the old one out & resolder & heatshrink.
That would make sense, especially with it happening during cornering. Can you clarify the location? Which sill is it, and which chair do I have to remove?
It must have been at least 10 years since I have done one of these repairs but they used to be fairly common, as for which side, it's the same at both sides so it would be whichever side is causing the fault. I always done both sides when doing the repair as it was inevitable that the other side would play up a short time later.
As for exact location like I say it has been over 10 years since I done this repair. I just remember you have to take the seat out to lift the carpet up for access, I believe it's part of the loom that runs down the sill which then goes across the floor to the airbag ECU.
If I could see the wiring diagram it would probably jog my memory as to which splice it is.
