SRS Symptom Troubleshooting - Passenger's airbag cutoff indicator stays on or comes on suddenly

Passenger's airbag cutoff indicator stays on or comes on suddenly

NOTE: Under the following conditions, the passenger's airbag cutoff indicator stays on or comes on suddenly:

- When no one is sitting the front passenger's seat, but there is an object on the seat more than 5 kg (11 lbs).
- The seat belt is buckled, but no one is sitting on the front passenger's seat.
- Someone who is less than about 30 kg (65 lbs) is sitting on the front passenger's seat.

1. Check for these items, then recheck the passenger's airbag cutoff indicator.

- The front passenger's seat is installed correctly.
- Nothing is/was on the front passenger's seat.
- Nothing is/was under the front passenger's seat.
- Nothing is/was in the front passenger's seat-back pocket.
- Whoever was sitting on the front passenger's seat was sitting in the proper sitting position.
- The seat weight sensors may not measure the correct weight of the front passenger's. If the passenger's is more than 30 kg (65 lbs) but is supporting some of their body weight with their feet on the floor, or with their hands and arms on an arm rest, the actual weight of the passenger is not measured.
