Default Airbag light

It´s a Hyundai Tuscon 2005 and with 52500km.
The warning light for airbag will lightning the whole time.
I have a timefor service to check whats wrong. They say that´s it no warranty because the car is older then 3 years and here in Sweden it is 3 years warranty. The car is 3 year and 4 month sp isay this airbag must be covered by warranty for a longer time.
Will se what this end in. I have the day 1 sept for the service.
Anyone have any faulty with airbag system or know what could cause this?

It could be a number of things. But something simple to check is the connectors under the front seats. If the weight sensors in the seats got disconnected somehow (like sticking something under the seat) that could cause the light to go on.

I agree; check to make sure all the connectors under the seats are connected.

If the light is on, a code is stored and the dealer should be able to figure out quickly what the problem is. I wish you luck.

There is no connectors under the seats. There is a plastic box under the seats but the cables iswired inside the box and nothing seem to be wrong with the cables where they goes in to the box.
Yes there could be a code and will se if they find out what is wrong.
I will post a message when i know the result.

The dealer have checked and there was a code for the passenger sensor is faulty.
The car is 3 years and 4 month and they can not let it go on the warranty because here in Sweden it´s 3 years.
I think that it should be a better warranty onthe airbag systems.
It will cost me around 3000 se krones to replace the sensor with a new one and that means in us $500.

There is a 9 year or 20.000km electronicwarranty for my car and a airbag sensor is fully with electronic.
Is there anyone know if the sensor is covered by the warranty in this case. I have not seen any other information then "Warranty electronic 9 years" when i bought the car april 2005.
