An apparatus (100) for sensing presence and weight of a vehicle occupant includes a first conductor (120) that is electrically coupled to an oscillating circuit and disposed adjacent a first surface (112) of a compliant pad (110) within the seat of the vehicle. A first conductor (120) generates an oscillating signal at a first intensity. A second conductor (130) is disposed adjacent a second opposing surface (114) of the compliant pad (110) and is capable or receiving the oscillating signal at a second intensity. A detection circuit electrically coupled to the second conductor (130) and capable of receiving the oscillating signal at the second intensity determines the presence and weight of a vehicle occupant based upon the second intensity of the oscillating signal.
