A Weight Sensor Passenger Seat is a critical component in modern vehicles. It detects whether someone is sitting in the passenger seat and measures their approximate weight. This information is then used by the vehicle’s airbag control unit (ACU) to decide whether to deploy, suppress, or adjust the airbag force during an accident.
At Sensors and Gauges, we provide automotive-grade passenger seat weight sensors that are reliable, accurate, and compliant with safety standards.
✅ Passenger Safety – Prevents airbags from injuring children or lightweight passengers ✅ Airbag Efficiency – Deploys airbags only when necessary ✅ Compliance – Meets global automotive safety regulations ✅ Reduces Liability – Protects manufacturers and owners from unnecessary risks
Common Applications of Passenger Seat Weight Sensors
Airbag Suppression Systems – Disables airbags when a child seat is detected
Occupant Classification – Adjusts deployment force based on passenger size
Fleet Safety – Monitors seat usage in taxis, buses, and trucks
Connected Vehicles – Integrates with IoT & telematics for safety analytics
✔ Automotive-grade sensors designed for accuracy & durability ✔ Expert support for troubleshooting & installation ✔ Cost-effective replacements without compromising safety ✔ Australia-wide delivery with fast turnaround times
Always replace a faulty weight sensor passenger seat with a certified OEM-grade unit. Incorrect or cheap alternatives can compromise airbag safety systems, putting passengers at risk.
