I installed my CAI today I noticed my Srs light is on. I removed the battery completely from the car for about an hour or so. Oh well To the dealer I go tomorrow......:angry: :'(

 

My SRS light came on last week and I took it to the dealer on Monday. They reset it and told me that electronic interference can cause it (from cell phone or sitting a laptop on the passenger seat). The problem is with the sensor in the back of the passenger seat. This has been discussed on this forum before and I know a number of people have had the sensor replaced. My dealer (Montgomeryville Acura) says that Acura tells the dealer to reset the SRS light the first time it happens and if it happens again to replace it (based on a particular diagnostic code). They even gave me a printout that was directly from Acura stating the above.

Anyway, while I'm glad they didn't pull my seat apart to replace the sensor I'm just waiting for the day when it comes back on again. I feel like it's only a matter of time.

One of the things that printout from Acura said was that using a cell phone charger (plugged into the accessory outlet in the center console) can cause this interference that turns the SRS light on. I did have a charger plugged in there all the time. So, I've decided to disconnect it for now. I used to use the passthrough to the cup holder to charge my cell phone.

Here's the printout from Acura that I scanned in...

 

I called them and they said most likely they would replace the chip in the seat but they wouldn't do it till monday. They didn't have the parts to do so.

 

I just took mine in on Tuesday for this problem. They reset the system and told me that there's a service bulletin coming out soon about this very isue. They didn't have the parts to do the fix per the service bulletin, but they got the light to turn off. They told me that if it comes on again, give them a call and bring it back in for the real fix. Well, it came back on yesterday, so I'll be giving them another call.

 

Ok I got it done today finally, took them all day, they had the car from 73am till 545pm. They actually replaced the entire upright piece of the passenger seat. I know this because they left a box with the old one laying in the back of my car.

 

Well, my light came back on today. So I've got to call the dealer tomorrow to make an appointment for them to tear my passenger seat apart to replace the sensor.
