370z passenger airbag light

Normal operation. It comes on briefly to indicate that it does not detect a presence in the seat that would trigger the airbag operation. It does not stay on because it detects zero load on the seat. It wouldn't make sense for the light to stay on all the time when you never have a passenger.

Put something around 20-40 lbs in the seat and see if the light comes on and stays on while driving. There has to be enough weight on the seat for it to detect that there is something there and less than the weight limit that triggers the airbag. In this range, the light should stay on.

I am going to try to do that when I am home, I understand what you saying though. I guess I misunderstood the manual? To my understandings when I read it, is it will light up if no passenger on it indicating it won't deflate. Thank you so much for your input
