Condition
Some customers may comment that the front passenger airbag status indicator displays OFF or switches from ON to OFF with a passenger in the seat.
Customers with a smaller body profile and light weight may observe the front passenger airbag status indicator display OFF with a passenger in the seat.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the passenger presence system (PPS) in the right front seat cushion or in the case of a small profile/light weight customer, a combination of the PPS and passenger front seat cushion.
Correction
If any diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) are present for the Passenger Presence System (PPS) or Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM), address these DTCs using electronic service information (SI).
Remove any additional items on the passenger seat such as blankets, seat cushions, seat covers, seat heaters or seat massagers. If the PPS status indicator shows OFF while the passenger seat is occupied by an adult size occupant and there are no PPS or SDM DTCs present and there are no additional items on the front passenger seat, replace the PPS components with the kit mentioned in this bulletin.
Once the repair has been completed, review the Passenger Sensing System information in the owners handbook with the customer.
