Driver’s seat position sensor
N00417900164
The driver’s seat position sensor is attached to the seat rail and
provides the airbag control unit with information on the seat’s
fore-aft position. The airbag control unit controls deployment
of the driver’s front airbag in accordance with the information
it receives from this sensor.
If there is a problem involving the driver’s seat position sensor,
the SRS warning in the instrument panel will come on. Refer to
“SRS warning” on page 2-43.
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 2-42.
If there is a problem involving the passenger’s seat weight sen-
sors, the SRS warning in the instrument panel will come on.
