Your 'SERVICE AIRBAG' warning light and chime are turning on repeatedly, regardless of whether anyone is sitting in the passenger seat. This is happening even though your car has never been flooded or had water damage. The airbag system will need diagnostic testing to identify the faulty sensor or connection causing the false warning.
