I just came back from my friend's house.He hooked up the computer and the following fault code came up:


01216-Seat Occupant Sensorassenger side Rear (G178)

32-10-Resistance Too High-Interim Front

I asked him to clear the fault code like you guys said and the airbag light went away.

Should everything be fine now or there is something else I need to do?

thanks for everyones's help.

If the light stays off, everything is OK. If it comes back on, then troubleshooting may be required

I had the same problem with both sides of my back seat setting off this code. I ended up having the left side replaced under warranty and I did the right side myself.

The dealer told me the occupancy sensor had gone bad so it needed to be replaced. I bought the part and installed it myself. Observing the sensor pad as I removed it I noticed that it wasn't glued to the seat foam anymore. I believe the glue dried out and cased the pad to not be attached to the foam.

In looking back I believe that the adhesive that holds the sensor pad to the seat may go bad and this may be what causes the intermittent fault. Knowing this I would check to make sure that the sensor is still glued to the foam before I bought a new sensor for about $100.
