Side Airbag Off Light
so im coming out from school get in the car and turned it up.. midway home i look at my gas gauge and i notice a "SIDE AIRBAG OFF" light on... its the light between the temp gauge and gas gauge. i dont know if it was there this morning because i was too tired to notice or remember anything but i do know for sure it wasnt there yesterday night... i dont know if this information helps or has anything to do with the light coming on but yesterday i lefted all 4 windows open and the rain happened to get in and wet almost everything.... i just wanna know if anyone has gotten this problem or had an idea of what can cause this... im going in for my first service on the 5th of july and im having acura fix a couple other problems and i guess this is an addition to my list.... i dont know if its right now A1 should be our first service right.. thats whats my MID say..

If you had anything somewhat heavy on the pass. seat, the light would come on. If there is not enought weight, the airbag will be off to protect smaller people/ children.
I has a computer on the seat ones and the light came on.
Hope that helps, Mark.

What you are seeing is normal.
Think of it this way, the passenger side airbag will be off unless a passenger is actually in the seat and could conceivably (though hopefully not) need it. I believe it takes around 60lbs in the passenger seat to trigger the airbag to be activated, otherwise it is off. This is both to prevent it from going off when babies/small children could be in the passenger seat, as well as to prevent unnecessary (and expensive) repair costs if the airbag were to deploy unnecessarily.
