Looking at schematics, those 4 wires are just for the driver airbag.
Looking at charm.li, X500 should be the driver door sensor connector. (#16 in the link diagram)
Below the wheel connector pictured previously, behind the kick panel near the floor.

Here’s the only code that shows on my Innova 5610. Also a pic of the spliced wires, soldered and heat shrinked. As soon as ai put the vehicle in reverse and try to drive, th doors try to lock and I get the dash message “driver door open”, but it’s the best seal I’ve had since buying the vehicle with the newer door and actuator.

Also, to the door code, while I took
these pics of the codes, I found another door switch (module I guess), exact same part number and design, swapped it out and
Everything works perfectly, until I put the truck in gear or
Hit the “lock” button function. The doors click to lock and three of them do, but the driver unlocks almost immediately and the message comes on on the dash saying driver door open. But it clearly is not.

For the SRS code -- if you're still interested in that one -- which your Tech 2 shows as B0013-0D, that's a fault in the steering wheel circuit for that airbag. Might be a clockspring or connector issue, but look at the link below and scroll down to the conditions and diagnostic path for that specific code and suffix.

Tech2 photo was not OP's.

Maybe while changing doors the wire got pinched or pulled?

Do you have a multimeter?

Are you by chance referring to my reply and not the OP? If so, I wanted to let the OP know I had a code for a resistance issue and was for the circuit in my clockspring...but turned out to be a loose pin/socket in that yellow connector. Thank you for the info though if that was for me.

My bad. Did the OP ever disclose the specific code that's being set for the SRS? It's like pulling teeth.

I'll shutup until I see details.

I'm sorry. it's not my intention to be evasive. I'm slightly ignorant about it. I'm a want to be mechanic. I enjoy messing with these trucks. My biggest weakness though would be electronics and electricity. I don't really understand it. I posted what i thought the code reader (Innova) said. I can go back and try to find more. I'm not well versed in it either. I bought if after first buying an ANCEL FX 6100, and while I liked it better than the Innova, they had no customer service phone number. So, I returned it. I say all that just to admit I'm a bit ignorant about those areas.
I really just find myself throwing money at it. I just ordered a new factory GM door harness hoping that will fix things. I don't know what else to do. That's the only thing that's really changed as I've tried two door actuators(replacement door one and the original from my old cop car door), two wiring harnesses, (the other door but spliced to the original sensor, and now reinstalled the original harness, also spliced to the original sensor). I had no codes on the vehicle for 4 years, and these are really my only two. And that's all that's changed. I'm baffled, and especially baffled on the door lock.
I'll follow up after the new harness arrives and I install it. I hope it works, the dang thing was $300.
Thanks for all the help you guys are offering.

Doesn't the door latch also control if the BCM sees the door as open or closed? I'm not 100% on this but could it be a latch issue? If this has been covered then my apoligies.
