So after years of not scheduling the passenger airbag replacement ( Takata airbag recall ) I finally bit the bullet and remembered why I was putting it off for all those years. Dealer returned the vehicle to me with airbag light on and several body parts not installed correctly:
1-floor console screws not attached ( console just floating ) and one screw missing
2-center seat front fasteners loosened ( as if they thought they needed to remove, but then realized they didn't need to )
3-the dash not fully pushed in by right passenger vent
4-aftermarket stereo USB charging/Android Auto cable no longer connected
Lastly they didn't return my x3 attempts to follow-up until I emailed the service manager. But for now I'm only interested in figuring out why the light is on. My scanner doesn't report any DTCs which seems wrong because if the airbag indicator in EMIC is on there should be a code ? Most obvious problem could be the passenger on/off switch which is a muxed switch ( with different resistor values on & off such that ACM can sense status of switch ). Perhaps the low-side driver for passenger on/off bulb also monitors this circuit and throws a DTC if bulb fails ? Any other things that people are aware of that are worth checking for ?
