Passenger’s seat weight sensors
N00418000247
The passenger’s seat weight sensors are attached to the seat
rails and provide the airbag control unit with information
regarding the weight on the front passenger seat. The airbag
control unit controls deployment of the passenger’s front
airbag in accordance with the information it receives from this
sensor.
The passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in an impact when
the weight on the seat is sensed to be less than approximately
66 pounds (30 kg). In this case, the passenger’s airbag off indi-
cator will come on.
Refer to “Passenger’s airbag off indicator” on page 2-44.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning in the instrument panel will come on.
Refer to “SRS warning” page 2-45.

If any of the following conditions occur, you should
immediately have your vehicle inspected by an

the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” or
“START” position.
• The SRS warning does not go out after several sec-
onds.

can correctly sense the weight being applied to the
seat, observe the following instructions. Failure to
follow these instructions can adversely affect the
performance of the passenger’s airbag system.

sitting on the seat.
