2005 XLT "Passenger Airbag Off" question
I purchased a 2005 F150 XLT Supercrew last week, and have a question regarding the passenger side airbag. When i turn on the ignition and crank the motor, the "Passenger Airbag Off" light comes on (above the radio) for about 3 secs then goes off. This happens whether someone is in the passenger seat or not. Shouldn't this light stay on if the passenger seat is unoccupied? I'm not getting any code or indication of an airbag problem from the gauge panel area (speedo, tacho area) itself.
My wife's Xterra has a sensor in the seat that will automatically turn the passenger airbag on/off depending on the weight in the passenger seat. I assumed my truck was similar, but since the airbag light never shows a constant "Passenger Airbag Off" light, i fear that it's on 24/7. Is this normal for the light to come on/off regardless of passenger seat occupance or is there a seat sensor that i should check?

My 02 Chevy had a key for the airbag on/off, but my F150 doesn't so i was concerned. I sometimes have my nephew ride with me, and my wife and I are expecting our first child in 2 months so i'm trying to find out what shuts it off

Thank you for this! Found it, page 131 of the "5th printing" manual...

Just remember is an American truck not a Nissan Works a bit differently.
But yea it will turn on and off depending on the weight in the seat. I think its like 45 pounds mabey? not sure on the weight.
But it turns on for 3 seconds for a self check of the system and when it checks out it turns the light off and the airbag is now active.
