Description of the problem	2013 nissan altima. Consumer writes in regards to problems with the passenger seat air bag warning light. *smd the consumer stated the passenger seat air bag light has been on continuously. After doing some research, he found it was caused by the failure of the sensor in the seat that determined whether the seat was occupied by an adult or a child. The consumer installed spacers between the passenger seat rails and the seat in order to raise the seat by one inch. The nissan dealership informed the consumer that altering the vehicle voided the warranty covering the faulty sensor. The consumer believed the changes he made resulted in the passenger seat still being more firmly anchored to the floor pan of the vehicle than the power seat that sat beside it. As far as the sensor was concerned, it could not tell the difference between the seats original configuration and the alterations that he made. The consumer asked the service manager if he restored the seat to its original configuration, would it be considered un-altered; he said no. The very fact that he removed the seat constituted altering it.
