Dealer needs to do this.. Just play "dumb" when you go in... You didn't go nuts on the cleaning (e.g. door panels off or anything??)

I didnt go nuts on cleaning. I just vacuum the car and the sensor goes on. I think it is a software glitch. . will be scheduling for a check soon.

Mine had to have the air bag sensor switch replaced.

I also had a broken cup holder (replaced).

the driver's side airbag fault signal lit up a few weeks ago on mine. I have just ignored it since I figure its a stupid computer glitch. Guess I will have my dealer check it out when I take her in for an oil change which shouldnt be too long now.

Also happened on mine. Anyone knows how to look under the front sport seats, to check if my daughter did not disconnected some connectors there? Should the seats be removed or how can I look there? If I sit on the back seats, I cannot bend the neck that much...

As she's only 3 and a half years old, she might have interfered with the connectors without any purpose whatsoever...
