Front passenger seat weight sensors

Vehicles equipped with front passenger seat weight sensors are also equipped with a front

passenger air bag deactivation indicator light is also equipped (page 2-33). These sensors

are located under both of the front passenger seat rails. These sensors determine the total

seated weight on the front passenger seat. The sensors are also designed to prevent the

front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner system from deploying if

the total seated weight is less than approximately 30 kg (66 lb).

To reduce the chance of injuries caused by deployment of the front passenger air bag, the

system deactivates the front passenger front and side air bags and also the seat belt

pretensioner system when:

There is no passenger in the front passenger seat. (The front passenger air bag

deactivation indicator light does not illuminate.)

The total seated weight on the front passenger seat is less than approximately 30 kg (66

lb). (The front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates.)

This system shuts off the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt pretensioner

system, so make sure the front passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates

according to the following table.

The air bag/front seat belt pretensioner system warning light flashes and the front

passenger air bag deactivation indicator light illuminates if the sensors have a possible

malfunction. If this happens, the front passenger front and side air bags and seat belt

pretensioner system will not deploy.
