If you see an error message regarding the passenger airbag in your Subaru Legacy, it may be necessary to replace the sensor that detects when the passenger seat is occupied. This sensor, located under the seat, can malfunction if damaged or if its wiring is compromised, potentially causing the system to incorrectly detect a passenger's presence. To address this issue, you'll need to remove the seat's bottom bolts, tilt the seat back, locate the black sensor box, unscrew it, and disconnect the electrical connector. After replacing the sensor, the warning light should disengage.
The passenger airbag of a Subaru Legacy is designed to deactivate itself depending on the occupant's weight.
My wife is less than 100 pounds, so the airbag on the passenger side is always turned off for her. Is it possible to adjust the sensor under the seat for someone weighing less than 100 pounds? Respond to: leadfoot_2009@outlook.com
