When passenger seat was occupied, air bag light showed "off". this occurred about 95% of the time. Passenger weight is approximately 150 lbs. I had the local dealership check this and they found no problem. (approximate date 4/1/14). I took the car back to the dealership around 4/10 and had the service manager sit in the passenger seat and the passenger air bag light indicated that the air bag was "off". to repair this problem, they replaced the passenger seat (installed 20861568 N-module kit (14865-B) and replaced passenger presence module.
