I noticed yesterday that my side air bag light came on for about 2 seconds on my new 2002 Ody. Anyone else see this yet?

Hi Frank,

Yep. This past weekend, we were tooling around town when I noticed that the side air bag light came on every time we came to a stop light. My wife, having read the entire Ody manual cover to cover (twice), quickly explained that it was because her right arm (or elbow) was blocking some sensor. So if you are not correctly positioned in the seat, the sensor knows and will temporarily disable the air bag. Kinda like when you contort your body to make eye contact with your two-year old doing mischieviness things in the back seat(our case). Check that, 2nd row bucket seat in the more middle position with the magic seat stowed. Man gotta love our seat options!

Forgot to reveal myself. I'm obviously a newbie at this...but learning fast.

Thanks KJ,

I did notice it was when she was leaning over to give our two year old that look
