It seems that airbag system wiring and their components are overly sensitive; allow me to explain. In my old Miata, the glove box routinely fell out of place. Often times I would shove it back in and it would stay for a while. However, after doing this, I typically got an airbag light for the passenger side. Jiggling the wires behind the glove box typically cured the light and it never came back until I did this again.
On my Sedona, I carry a lot of kit for work. Every once in a while I have to break really hard, and this usually results in something rubbing against the back of the passenger seat. There is wiring for the airbag circuit that runs along the backside of the seat under a cloth vanity panel. I'm guessing this wiring somehow gets disturbed, because this will rarely result in an airbag light. Oddly, where these wires are placed, they could easily be kicked by passengers in the back row. Since I have no backseats, I cannot confirm whether or not this happens. In my case, when the airbag light comes on, simply jiggling the wires that run on the backside of the seat cures the problem. Is this just coincidence, or are airbag circuits intentionally finicky?
