Function And Typical Failure Modes
The passenger airbag switch lets the driver or service technician disable or enable the front passenger airbag (for example when using a rear-facing child seat).

A faulty switch can cause the passenger airbag warning lamp to illuminate or prevent correct control of the passenger airbag.
Replacement And Installation Notes
Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians: disconnect the vehicle battery and follow the manufacturer’s SRS safety procedures, remove the trim panel around the switch, unplug the electrical connector, and replace the switch. Refit trim, reconnect the battery and verify SRS indicator behaviour. In some cases a diagnostic tool may be required to clear related fault codes or to confirm proper communication with the airbag control module.
