You might want to consult your local dealer. I can't remember for
sure, but there was a bulletin/recall on devilles of your model year.
There was a problem with the side airbag inflator modules that would
even result in them deploying at random. I am not sure if '99 falls
under this though. It is setting codes for both sides at the same
time? If it is one or the other that is consistently returning, you
can swap the inflators from side to side to isolate the fault. I am
going to do some research for you on this recall, will reply.
