Turning the passenger air bag off on an E320 2003

Also, you might check your user manual or online forums for your make/model/year of car. Sometimes there is a way to get the system to turn it on/re-check, such as turning the key to the "lock" position and then re-starting the car. www.careucar.com

There is a procedure in owners manual to turn pass airbag on & off. Also make sure nothing is in seat. Certain light weights will turn it off

Don't know what year model car you have. Some year models have a switch you can turn the passenger air bag off. Check you owners manual in the dash/controls section and the air bag section

Hi,

Yes, you need to turn off front passenger air bag when using a forward facing child seat.

Good luck.

If there is no visible switch then no you can`t turn off the passenger air bag.This option is usually only avail.in the trucks on G.M.s.Til the later years.Other than removing the fuse but then all the air bags will be inoperative.Hope this helps.Good luck.

The switch under the passenger seat that senses the occupant is defective. This happened to me under warranty and they fixed it.

DO you know if the passengers side air bag had been disabled?
For some dumb reason I always turn my passengers air bag off,boy this was stupid.after your question I will turn my bag back on.

It indicates a passenger air bag faul. Try turning off the passenger air bag and then back on

Are you talking about the passenger side? They sometimes have a switch to turn them off. The drivers side does not have an on off switch. Be careful working around air bags they can KILL YOU.

Passenger Air Bag Deactivation (PAD) Switch
The passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) switch:

• is located on the instrument panel to the right of the climate controls.
• contains a light emitting diode (LED) that indicates when the PAD switch is activated (passenger air bag disabled).
• allows the passenger air bag deployment circuit to be disabled using the ignition key.
• should be used whenever a child safety seat is being used in the front passenger seating position.

Prove Out the System
Prove out the system means to turn the ignition switch from the OFF to the RUN position and visually monitor the air bag indicator with the air bag modules installed. The air bag indicator will light continuously for approximately six seconds and then turn off. If an air bag supplemental restraint system (SRS) fault is present, the air bag indicator will either:

• fail to light.
• remain lit continuously.
• flash.

The flashing might not occur until approximately 30 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned from the OFF to the RUN position. This is the time required for the restraints control module (RCM) to complete the testing of the SRS. If the air bag indicator is inoperative and an SRS fault exists, a chime will sound in a pattern of five sets of five tone bursts. If this occurs, the air bag indicator will need to be repaired before diagnosis can continue.

Active Commands
This command allows the technician to verify operation of the air bag indicator, passenger air bag deactivation (PAD) lamp and chime. When the air bag output command is executed, the indicator, the PAD lamp, chime and the chime are activated simultaneously for approximately four seconds. All devices are deactivated automatically.
