The following are possible causes of the malfunction:

* A short to ground in the passenger air bag ON/OFF indicator circuits
* A short between the passenger air bag ON/OFF indicator circuits
* A passenger air bag ON/OFF indicator malfunction
* An internal SDM malfunction

If an intermittent malfunction exists, refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Diagnostic Aids. Component Tests and General Diagnostics
