2007 GMC Acadia (4 Wire Sensor) - DTC B0081 Passenger Presence System
I called 2 GMC Dealers and they estimated between $800 - $1,300 to resolve this issue.
I ordered the 2007 GMC Acadia (4 Wire Sensor) Passenger Seat Occupancy Sensor Emulator from Airbag 360
Note:
It Does Not Disable the Passenger Airbag, but rather will fire the Passenger Airbag weather or not someone is in the Passenger seat.
So, I still have Airbag protection for my Passenger.
It Costs approximately $88 includes Shipping to the US. I received the emulator about 5 days after it shipped.

With the Key off, I Unplugged the Passenger Seat Sensor connector, Plugged-In the Emulator (connector was exact fix), turned the Key On, and Whoo la . . . We are Good to Go!
Took me longer to "Find" the Seat Sensor Connector than to fix the issue 😊
Was Not necessary to clear the DTC, just installed the Emulator and it cleared the fault when I turned the Key On.
Could not have been any easier.
My wife Thanks You Very Much and she is thrilled that she can continue to drive the Acadia for a while. She loves this car 😊
I love being able to fix it for less than $100

2008 GMC Acadia (4 Wire Sensor) - DTC B0081
Our Acadia popped up several airbags codes. All were easily fixed except for code B0081. I tried several checks. Not having upholstery tools, I didn't want to take the passenger seat apart. For safety deployment of airbags, I tried this plug in. Amazingly it worked. The B0081 code disappeared. The passenger seatbelt light did come on. The light was turned off by using the seatbelt clipped in. To keep the seat beats in reach for someone entering, a seat belt extender was buckled into the original seatbelt clip. I recommend this by pass for anyone having trouble with this code.
