Passenger air bag light on
Hi All
I disconnected my negative battery connection to replace the blower motor.
when i reconnect the battery the passenger light came on and stays on.
Is there a way to turn it off without going to the dealer.
I have a code reader and there no error on air bag
thanks

In the Occupant Classification System (OCS), the passenger airbag on/off indicator gives an indication when the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits are disabled by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). This indicator is controlled by a transistor within the ORC through a hard wired output based upon ORC programming and electronic occupant classification messages received by the ORC over the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus from the Occupant Classification Module (OCM).
The ORC will turn ON the passenger airbag on/off indicator for the following reasons:
- Bulb Test - Each time the ignition switch is turned to the ON position the passenger airbag on/off indicator is illuminated for about six seconds.
- Child Seat Detected (or Load Less Than Minimum Weight Threshold) Occupant Classification Message - Each time the ORC receives a message from the OCM indicating a child seat has been detected in the passenger side front seat (or that the seat load is less than a minimum weight threshold) the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits are deactivated and the passenger airbag on/off indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the ORC receives an occupant classification message indicating that the passenger side front seat is empty, that the seat is occupied by a load equal to or greater than a minimum weight threshold, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Load Undetermined Occupant Classification Message - Each time the ORC receives a message from the OCM indicating that a load cannot be determined in the passenger side front seat, the passenger airbag and seat belt tensioner deployment circuits are deactivated and the passenger airbag on/off indicator will be illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the ORC receives an occupant classification message indicating that the passenger side front seat is empty, that the seat is occupied by a load equal to or greater than a minimum weight threshold, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
- Communication Error - If the ORC receives invalid occupant classification messages or no messages from the OCM, the passenger airbag on/off indicator is illuminated. The indicator remains illuminated until the ORC receives a valid message from the OCM indicating that the passenger side front seat is empty, that the seat is occupied by a load equal to or greater than a minimum weight threshold, or until the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, whichever occurs first.
