Passenger's seat weight sensors
The passenger's seat weight sensors are
attached to the seat rails and provide the air-
bag 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 indicator will come on.
Refer to "Passenger's airbag off indicator" on
page 4-25.
If there is a problem involving the passen-
ger's seat weight sensors, the SRS warning in
the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
"SRS warning light/display" on page 4-25.
