How to turn off passenger side airbag isuzu denver

it wont show active since you will be disconnecting the wiring

There is no "switch" the passenger airbag (referred to as a smart airbag system) is controlled by a weight sensing sensor in the seat cushion, the airbag is disabled anytime that something less than about 50 pounds is placed on the seat cushion. If you put items on the seat under that weight like a bag of groceries for instance it can confuse the system and turn off the passenger airbag. What you need to do now is contact your local dealer and make an appt. to have the system scanned to see what the problem is that is keeping the passenger side airbag disabled. Good Luck.

Hello Collette,

(Owner Manual Page 2-68)
The passenger sensing system turns off the right front
passenger frontal airbag and seat-mounted side
impact airbag under certain conditions. The driver
airbags and the roof-rail airbags are not affected by the
passenger sensing system.
The passenger sensing system works with sensors that
are part of the right front passenger seat. The sensors
are designed to detect the presence of a properly-seated
occupant and determine if the right front passenger
frontal airbag and seat-mounted side impact airbag
should be enabled (may inflate) or not.

I'm not sure if a purse or other light weight objects would activate the passenger airbag but if your display is showing random passenger activation it would be best to have a qualified dealer check into it...better safe than sorry.

there is no switch for the passenger airbag. it is activated by a weight sensor in the passenger seat. if it senses over 50 pounds in the passenger seat it will then turn the passenger airbag on

B0078-This Relates to Malfunction for Passenger - Right Front Side Impact Sensor (SIS)
Unsure of which model that you have,so I can't detail where this will be found.
Have you had an accident in this area recently or any mechanical work done in the region?
Please advise of some more detail of model please.

Thi syear and model uses what is called a "Smart Airbag System" what this means is that the SRS system has a weight sensor in the passenger seat cushion, unless the object or passenger (a child) is more than 50 pounds the airbag is automatically turned off on the passenger side. There is no other switch.

Most SUVs have fuse boxes under the passenger or diver front dashboards on either side wall where your legs are. If you go through those fuses and cannot locate the airbag fuse I would check the second fuse box which is under the hood. It will have the labels for each fuse normally on the other side of the cover when you locate it.

umm not sure on the 02 but sounds like u are looking at the passengers side air bag light when that lights on means there is a problem with it and its not working so if its off that would be the problem and the reason it turns on some of thiem have a x2 symbol on thiem to let u know its the passenger side

there will be a switch inside the glove box to turn off the airbag and the manual can only be got from a main dealer hope this helps

This should be for the passenger side airbag. If an adult is sitting in the passenger side seat and there is a light that says airbag off then you have a problem either with the passenger side airbag or with the passenger side seat detector. Start up the car and sit in the passenger seat, buckle the seat belt and make sure the light now says airbag on. If this does not happen take car to dealer. Dealers have correct computers to enter the airbag modules to read and diagnose the fault code.
