Airbag warning light comes on when someone sits in passenger seat

This is explained in the Owner's Manual. Follow FSM link in my sig if you don't have an OM. IIRC, lighter passengers (kids, skinny folks, etc) or someone sitting "weird"

This is explained in the Owner's Manual. Follow FSM link in my sig if you don't have an OM. IIRC, lighter passengers (kids, skinny folks, etc) or someone sitting "weird" can confuse the computer.

Edit: If it's happening when anybody (not just somebody) sits in the seat, it may be a bad sensor in the seat. And it's also possible that the wiring snagged on something and dislodged the connector when you moved the seat - a visual check should tell you.

Thanks for the response. It does it no matter who sits in the passenger seat. I'm hoping it's just a dislodged connector. Does anybody have an idea how to test the sensor? Would this throw a trouble code that can be seen on a scanning tool? Thank you as well for the reference to the OM. My car has all of the literature, so I'll look up that section. I figured that since it wasn't the standard "airbag off" light that it means there's a problem.
