Mine has done this since I bought the car 2 years ago, I just ignor it. I think I read a thread here that talked about checking the wires under the passenger seat for kinks.

I read the same tip about the seat, but I thought it was the driver seat? Anyway I was under warranty and told the dealer about it. They apparently replaced an airbag sensor as a result.

When my light came on, I pulled over, shut off the engine, turned it back on and started driving, then the light never came back (even before telling the dealer I had seen it).

I drove in a way that scared my wife (as usual) but the problem is that her reaction was to stiffen up with her feet pressed firmly on the passenger floorboard lifting her but momentarily off the seat and the airbag light lit up for a second. What scares me is if she has the same reaction to a possible accident she wont have airbag protection when needed the most!

Man came on the other day as well cruising down the hwy. After getting gas and turning the car back on I never saw it again. Left me scratching my head for sure.

First thing to check is the connectors under the seat...especially if you move the seat forward and back alot.

Same answer as in the other thread...
