Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Not a complaint, just trying to figure out how to fix this. My passenger airbag light comes on in the cold (under 3c) and then refuses to go off until the car interior heats right up to 21c. Nobody seated in the seat. Nothing on the seat. Doing up the seatbelt also does nothing. It only happens when I park on the street when it's cold. In heated garages no problem. I've moved the seat around to see if the sensor's stuck somehow. Any guesses?
Cold weathered ghost?:hilarious: Sorry... I have no clue on how to help... Is your car under warranty? If so I would make a trip to the dealer.
Make sure that your seat isn't forced all the way back against the engine firewall. There is a known issue where excessive pressure against the seat back will cause this. Moving the seat forward just one notch completely solves the typical problem. If this doesn't fix it, post again with more details. Which light are we talking about? When it's cold and the light is lit, does sitting in the seat and putting on the seatbelt make it turn off? It is possible that the weight sensor in the seat is flawed and at cold temps is failing. I believe this sets codes that the dealer or a Durametrics unit will read.
That is a seat belt sensor problem, its happened to me with 2 Boxsters prior to owning a Cayman S . Cheers
On this topic, does anyone know the weight threshold for airbag activation? I was driving around with a friend last night and noticed that the airbags were off the whole time she was sitting down.
Maybe the light is just trying to stay warm.
when the wife and i broke the car in the light said "git sum"
Like you asked just a guess.I wonder if the battery amperes are dropping when cold.I have discovered that one of the first things to "throw a code" in low voltage/amp situations is the air bag warning light........Hope this helps.....
That seems to be the fix. No more light on. :banana:
The Cayman is nearly impossible to make-out in. I've tried.
