Description of the problem	Dear nhtsa, i writing to inform you of a failure to the airbag system of my 2013 kia sorento. The initial symptom of the failure was an intermittent red airbag warning light that would appear on the driver's instrument panel while driving. Within a week, the warning light was activated all the time while driving, indicating the airbag system was not functional. The kia dealer retrieved error codes b1763 and b1764 during their inspection. They diagnosed the failure to be the "electric field occupant classification sensor" which is located in the front-passenger seat cushion. The sensor is not sold individually, but only as part of the entire lower seat assembly. The dealer quoted over $1,600 as the retail purchase price. This included the seat cover, cushion, adjustable seat rails, and the one part i needed, the electric field occupant classification sensor. The assembly part number was 88200-1u210sal after tearing down my old seat assembly i found the following part numbers on the failed electric field occupant classification sensor. Kia: 88950-1u500 autoliv: 611166600c iee: 31-004117-28-10 bodysense: 31-723107-15-00 mat test s/n: 0400640222 thank you for looking into this failure.
