How do you know if your airbag sensor is at fault?

The way you know if the sensor is at fault or not, before scanning your airbag system for faults, is to simply look at the “Passenger Airbag Off” light. If there’s no one in the seat, the light should illuminate.

Why does my airbag light not come on?

The default state of the bag is to arm, so there’s likely no case where someone will sit in the seat and the airbag will not deploy. If, for some reason, the light never illuminates when no one sits in the seat, the sensor could be at fault.
