So I've been having this issue not constantly but just every now and then. The error message isn't that big of a deal to me as I can cycle the ignition and the message goes away and its only happened maybe a dozen time and always goes away. My only concern is when this happens it shows the passenger air bag is OFF even if a passenger is in the seat. Well for the safety of ever having a passenger, while at the dealership doing some other stuff, I asked them to look at it.
They said the issue is due to my Fire Extinguisher being mounted in front of the passenger seat. Its a H3R mount to the two front bolts. They charged me $170, $36 of it being to remove the Fire Extinguisher (whatever). I've seen others mount a FE here and this is the first time I've heard this causing an issue. Has anyone else ever had this issue with a FE mount?
