| Description of the problem | Every time i have a passenger the airbag light remains on. When there is a passenger sitting in the front passenger seat and then gets out of the car, the sensor thinks the person is still sitting in the seat and keeps reminding me to put on the passenger seat belt, plus the air bag light remains on. After 3 to 4 days, all the warning lights go off. But lately, the lights remain on for months. Is the problem related with the passenger seat occupancy sensor mat? Isn't this suppose to be a delta government regulated issue? Isn't it also dangerous? Does this mean the air bag is deactivated? What if i get into an accident and i have a passenger? Please help. |
