It could be the switch is defective. Is this switch at the end of the dash where it is covered by the closed door?

But the problem may be unrelated to that switch. My wife's 2007 XC90 sometimes gives that 'passenger airbag off' message and that car doesn't have the airbag disabled/enabled switch.

Could it be the sensor in the seat is defective? I think there may be a weight sensor in the passenger front seat bottom to shut off the airbag if a child is sitting in the front seat. This message doesn't show if there is no one in the seat because either there has to be some weight in the seat for it to show and maybe the seat belt buckle must be clipped in.
