If your car has been in an accident, the airbag has gone off, or the passenger seat has been removed, you are going to need a passenger seat occupancy sensor calibration.

The passenger seat occupancy sensor is a sensor, usually in the form of a mat, that is located inside the passenger seat base. It measures weight applied to it to detect if there is a person sitting in the seat, in order to know whether it needs to deploy the airbag in case of an accident.

If this sensor is not correctly calibrated, the airbag may fail to go off, or it may go off when not necessary, both scenarios being potentially dangerous. This is why it’s crucial to get the sensor recalibrated.

One way to know if yours needs a calibration is that airbag light on the dash will be on. This is an indicator that the sensor could need to be calibrated (though it could be a sign of something else in the airbag system being at faulty). If your airbag light is on, it’s a good idea to get it checked out as soon as possible.
