1. A method for detecting an occupant in a seat, comprising the steps of:

  • measuring a first frequency response of an electrode at a first frequency across a range of environmental conditions;

    measuring a second frequency response of the electrode at a second frequency across the range of environmental conditions;

    comparing the first and second frequency responses measured to define a data set representing an effect of the environmental conditions, and using the data set to compensate for environmental conditions when detecting an occupant;

    measuring an actual frequency response of the electrode; and

    comparing the actual frequency response of the electrode to the data set to determine an effect of a current environmental condition.
