Passenger Air Bag Warning Light

I tried to search with no luck. Anyone know how to disable the passenger Air Bag On light on 2006 Avalon? It is very annoying to have the yellow (orange) light indicate that the passenger air bag is ON.

It's supposed to be activated by a weight sensor in the passenger seat. I think it's something like 60 pounds in the seat activates it. Although that's the passenger airbag itself...

As far as the light, the only idea I could think of would to be unsolder the lamp for that light... (I'm assuming it's a led or something... if it's one big display then I have no clue)...

Messing with air bag systems is generally frowned upon...

actually at least 20 pounds is enough. I have the same car and my dog whose 20 pounds activates the airbag.

So you're the VP of Seatbelts, and the Sec-Treas of AirBags?
