    The passenger side air bag indicator is referencing whether the passenger side air bag is active or not, depending on what is in the passenger seat. If the seat is empty, and the light is on, you likely have an issue with the sensor and mechanism in the seat itself. Have a diagnosis performed - don't expect 'the worst" just yet.
