passenger airbag uh oh
 

So I use my 2006 Mazda 5 to transport stuff for my business. I have all of the seats pulled out besides the driver and passenger seat. In the process of jamming some sheet metal in, I severed some of the wires underneath the passenger seat that attaches to the airbag in the seat. To prevent any kind of arcing, I disconnected the remaining wires from the harness. Now, of course, I have a blinking airbag light on the dashboard. It's giving me two errors; 23 and 48. I never transport any passenger in the van so I'm not really worried about fixing it just yet. My question: Is it just the passenger airbag that is out or are they all out now. Yes, I will take it in to get it fixed, I just want to know if I'm protected on the way.

Thanks,

Brett

There is a possibility that the airbag system may cut all airbags due to the error but generally it will just cut off the passenger side system due to an open circuit.

Ditto, there is always that chance it wont fire the drivers bag when needed but chances are it will only be the passenger bag that wont inflate when the worst happens.
