"Front Airbag Enabled"???
Why would this come on while my daughter is sitting in the passenger seat?

From page 283 of your owner's manual:
"The front passenger front air bag is
activated while driving even though a
child, small individual, or object below the
system’s weight threshold is on the front
passenger seat, or the front passenger
seat is empty. Objects on the seat or
forces acting on the seat may make the
system sense supplemental weight."
Either your daughter is just below the threshold weight for the sensor to enable stage I or stage II of the airbag and her movement is causing the sensor to register additional weight, or you have an intermittent problem with the weight sensor. Sometimes you see this when you place heavy objects in the seat that move and bounce around. In that case, it's just letting you know that "something changed and the airbag is now enabled"
