I had my rool bar and harnesses installed last night. All the fault codes where cleared and the only light that lights up is the orange light on the center console...Passenger Air Bag Off light.

Nothing is laying in the seat and when I sit in it the light goes off. This light only comes on when something light weight is in the seat but not heavy enough to trigger the airbags so the air bags are turned off.

I remember seeing a thread about installing the Bre-Kraus sub bars and these can trigger this light if a certain sequence is not followed. I've search and search the forums and can not find this thread....anyone help????

Just got back from a wasted trip to the dealer...they still can't get the Passenger Air Bag Off light to go out. They reset and cleared everything.

The dealer is now blaming the installer saying you absolutly CAN NOT take screws out of the seat base assembly because the 4 weight sensors rely on these bolts on the seat base to sence the weight of a passenger or no passenger. The dealer said the sensors are seeing different weights at all 4 sensors and are getting "Calibration Failed". They said either this is the issue or the installer broke 1 or more of the sensors.

I called the installer and they called BS on this dealer and they have me in touch with another dealer to go try and get this fixed.

I also found a thread and talked on the phone to the OP that had this same problem. His fix was the take out the BK sub bar and have the dealer do a DME rest and clear out everything. Then the system worked as it should with no Passenger Air Bag Light Off. He then with out unplugging the seat installed the BK Sub mount and everything worked perfectly.

Reeves Porsche fixed my light problem...seems like Bert Smith had everything coded wrong. I don't know what the deal was but it's working properly now.

Maybe they didn't set the thorax airbag for the seats with the PIWIS properly? Something like that?

So it was config and not the sub-bar affecting the calibration?
