How the car detects it

The unit that detects whether someone sits on the front passenger seat (and switches the passenger airbag on or off) reports an electrical fault or is not configured. While an airbag fault is stored, the affected airbag or pretensioner may not deploy in a crash. Have it repaired before relying on it. Never probe airbag connectors with a meter: that can fire the airbag.
