Started having a problem with the vehicle when my wife rode with me and the "passenger airbag off" light flashed on and off. Eventually, it started to remain on the whole time with her in the seat. Now the passenger seat belt unfastened light flashes constantly with no one in the seat. I took it to my local Hyundai to diagnose the issue and it is reading a fault code b1489 indicating an issue with the passenger occupant detection system (pods). Since there are numerous other Hyundai model's dating back to the mid-2000's that have had recall's on the pods, I am wondering if my vehicle may use the same seat sensor's that the other model's use. I haven't received a straight answer to if when the pods is defective, will the passenger airbags not deploy, or will they deploy no matter what should the event be triggered.
