Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2013 Honda FIT

The problem seems to manifest when the passenger is a light-weight adult, in the case of my wife, in the neighborhood of 115 pounds � light to be sure, but not absurdly so. We see the problem intermittently and rarely. Maybe a handful of times in a week. The light on the dashboard that indicates that the side air bags are disabled comes on. If we are to believe this status indicator, for the period that this light is on, we are not protected by the side air bags as they would not deploy in an accident. This light stays on sometimes as little as three seconds, sometimes as long as a minute. Most often it stays on for about ten to fifteen seconds. There is no pattern for when it might come on, or what will make it go off. It can happen when stopped at a traffic light, or traveling at freeway speeds, or anything in between. This problem only manifests when I am driving the vehicle and my wife is in the passenger seat. If she is driving and I am in the passenger seat, it never occurs. In addition, the reports I have seen from other Honda owners on the internet suggest that this is always the case, that this problem manifests only with light-weight adults in the passenger seat. Indeed, we have seen this occur one time when my wife was driving and a light-weight adult friend of ours in the neighborhood of 100 pounds was riding in the passenger seat. So it seems to be very much related to passenger weight.
