Srs Problem Again
so just got my srs sensor replaced again for the third or fouth time at PAA last week as posted in a thread this week. Last night it came on again. PAA said it was my battery so I told them to replace it since i didnt want to be hassled. Now im pissed I bought a new battery from them which i should of installed and bought myself.....(should of bought a gel battery for all my stereo crap) :WTF: is anyone else having this problem as badly as I am? I bought the car in sept 03 and the srs has come on 4x already this is getting out of control and im over my warranty

I have the same problem. I'm bringing it in monday for the 3rd time actually. It's strange that you're having the problem too. I guess it's one of the major recalls they must have. I wasn't told about the battery though. But you better believe when I tell you that I will make them pay for the battery if that is the case.
Do you have extended warranty. I think I heard that almost all srs problems are covered by oem and extended warranty.
Good luck

I do have a screen in the headrest of the passenger side if that would make this false code, so if it is a false code will my airbags still work?

I think those wires going into your screen are giving out magnetic fields which cause that sensor/unit to malfunction. Acura people whom design that seat never thought customer will ever install a TV screen in the headrest.
so it was triggered by my phone.
my dealer told me that the airbags would still work with the light on???? i dont know, i didnt design the mechanics....

I am pretty sure that when SRS light is on, the SRS unit is on fail safe mode and your air bag will not work. If your side air bag light is on then only your passenger side air bag will not work.

Acura must prove that one of your mods caused the specific problem with your srs sensor. They can't just generalize. Mention the Magnusson Moss Warranty Act and the Federal Trade Commission if you have a problem. If you do a google search on that Act you will be an expert.
