So it seems in the weight range of 90lbs to 120 it doesn't work as designed as it is supposed to be 90 lbs and below when the air bags turn off.

Your girl needs one of these...

Problem solved!

a friend of mine rode with me not long ago and hes about 125 lbs...the light came on as to indicate he is a small child and about 10 minutes into the trip it just turned off.

From the manual:

Quote:

Front passenger seat adult occupants who are properly seated and using the seat belt as outlined in this manual should not cause the passenger air bag to be automatically turned OFF. For small adults it may be turned OFF, however, if the occupant does not sit in the seat properly (for example, by not sitting upright, by sitting on an edge of the seat, or by otherwise being out of position), this could cause the sensor to turn the air bag OFF. Always be sure to be seated and wearing the seat belt properly for the most effective protection by the seat belt and supplemental air bag.

Well then it's a flaw regardless. If you stand on the edge of a scale it's still going to weight you the same. I've been through 5 rental cars since I got my z and their airbags work right. Plus she is sitting properly. The light will also be on and then shut off without her moving. I'm sure the NTSB will agree that it's malfunctioning one I take a video of it being off and her sitting properly. The way Nissan tested it was just by having someone sit down in the seat. The shop forum even told me before I brought it in and talked to him that it's probably not calibrated right and he can calibrate it through the computer which they even failed to attempt after I addressed a safety concern.

Oh just so you guys know I took a picture of my girl in the seat with the air bag light on. I then had her bounce up and down on the seat and wiggle around and it would not shut the light off. Then on the trip home the light was off the entire time in the same exact seated position. So again tell me that's not a glitch in the system and thats is exactly what everybody else is experiencing.

Yeah it's jacked up. My airbag light has been blinking at me for months and the indicator light does seen to have a mind of it's own.

Have you tried the reset?

Just came across this. My GF is 140 and the light is constantly on. Once in a while, it goes off, but its random. She tried bouncing and stuff, but we can't figure it out

hmm this always happens to me.
Somtimes it become lit when I have someone in the passanger seat..and then it just turns off. I really don't pay much attention to it. I never really wondered why it does that.

I found that if i turn the car to the ON position without starting it, and turn it off... then start the car... it will go off. I want to make sure my passengers airbag is working though!
