Yeah i'm in canada too and the dealer said they can't do any thing for me. My car is from florida so they told me I would have to take it to the states.

 

How do you clear youe dtc??

 

i noticed it didn't say anything about the CL Type S. is that covered?

mine is an 03 CL-S 6mt

 

Hello Everyone! I just joined, first post. Bought my 03 CL-S about 2 weeks ago. I have this problem with the SRS light, and I found out two things. Yes, the 03 CL is covered under warranty with the following limitations: It's only covered if the parts are throwing error messages, and the dealership is going to charge $80-$105 to run diagnostic's to see if it is or not. I went out and bought a ELM scanner for OBDII system, and I'm not getting the required codes. So I found a method for clearing the light (use it if your light comes on after replacing your battery.) If it doesn't work, then you probably have a problem with the SRS system. Here's the Link - http://www.geocities.com/myintegra96/srs.html

I haven't tried it yet, I'll let ya'll know what happens

 

just got my srs sensor replaced under warranty! thank you acura!

 

I just got mine fixed recently. The seatbelt sensors were gone and the OPDS was bad as well.

 

Great tips! Thanks!

 

If the SRS light stays on while you are moving, the airbags will NOT deploy in a crash!

As long as the light stays off, you're ok. Once it stays on after the normal self test, it's letting you know that the airbags are not going to deploy in an accident.

IOW, if you have an intermittent, and can reset the unit, it will function as long as the SRS light stays OFF while you’re driving.

 

01 acura cl-s 121k
Had my SRS light come on. Setup an appointment and got a loaner.
Took them about 4 business days (backorder on part/needed a new belt buckle) but, got it back without paying a penny out of my pocket. The tsx loaner was nice as well.

 

awesome info. thanks all. my light just came on a few days ago. i'm going to call acura tomorrow, keep you all updated.

 

Had my timing belt replaced a few weeks ago at my mechanics and had to disconnect my battery in the process. Now my SRS light is on and it wasn't on before. Do you guys know if the SRS light warranty would cover this issue as well and does it apply in Canada? Also if the light is on, does the airbags still work??

 

i've got 160k miles on mine.
i've already reseted teh light, but it came back on as soon as the pass. belt was buckled in.


will the dealer cover this?

 

Hmmm...mine popped up around 142k miles..I now have 152k..I hope acura would cover it even though it is over by 2k miles...=.=
mechanic told me if the SRS light is up the airbag will not deploy....

 

My SRS light went on today so I searched and tried the reset procedure and no go. So I took a copy of the opening post here to Thousand Oaks Acura and showed it to the service manager. Anyway the bill turned out to be $44 for the drivers seat belt buckle and $77 labor for a total of $121. But it was covered under the extended warranty so cost to me was zip. And they did it in two hours including a car wash and vacuum. Thanks for this helpful sticky.

 

Yeah, this SRS light is allready killing me!!!!! It started appearing maybe 6 mnths ago...however I found out how to reset it and get rid of it..here on acurazine...however now this light is coming on every day allready And the resetting technique is useless...so thanks to you guys I found about this warranty extension and I will not have to bother with getting the money for repairs By the way I bought this 2003 Acura 3.2 CL used , is this gonna make me any problems at dealerships...? oh yeah, Canada, Toronto by the way))))
THX

 

sooo....I went today to Acura Downtown Toronto....they took the car...they checked it...it wasn't the OPTD sensor, or whaterver it is called...it was just the sensor in the seat belt...which is not covered by warranty..so they charged me 125$ for diagnostic and 80 $ for the seatbelt sensor that I will change myself couse they are asking 220$ for instalation!!! Anyway...I hope the SRS light will not come on again...EVER I'll tell you guys how I changed it later

 

so i changed the seatbelt rather easy...just unplug the battery...wait 5 min...unscrew the seat , put it on the side so you can reach the screws from the lower part of the seatbelt system and than is just common sense and guess what!? MY SRS IS OFFFFF")))) Yeah baby

 

Well, I have 68k miles on my car, I haven't had anything done to it lately. Just today the SRS red light came on and won't go away.

I will ask the dealership about the sensor warranty extension, but my main question is someone on this thread said they got the seat buckle done for free under warranty since seat buckle is lifetime warranty. Others are saying they have to pay full price. Should the seat belt buckle sensor replacement be free?

 

Anyone?

 

I have handed the TL down to my son who is in High School. He is resposnible for all maintainence on the car, so when I told him abou this he was relieved. His brake light has been staying on and I found TSB 03-029 that resolves that issue...Thanks Acurazine, just saved my son around $300

 

The break light staying on can cause the SRS light issue?

 

woooooot!!! thanks for the hook up! i have an 03 CL-S with 131,000 miles on it and the SRS just popped up like 3 months ago.. brought it in to get diagnosed today and its definitely the piece thats covered under the warranty! saved me hundos buddy much appreciated!

 

What if I don't have a dealer? (bought used)

Can I bring it to any Acura dealership?

 

you can have a warm glass of shut the hell up scotty.

yea man, you can take it to any acura dealer. I'd say, in your case... look for the most run-down, sketchy (with drug dealers outside) looking place, and ask them. They should be able to take GOOD care of you

 

Im in Mexico city at this time . They do have an Acura dealership here in Mexico .The only models are available after 2005 . Does this warranty will cover outside the States ? Thank you guys

 

I don't specifically know about this issue being covered but I do know new cars in Mexico have a one year warranty.

 

The Turtoise CLP finally catches up to the SRS light syndrome; culprit has been after a couple of battery changes I think. Going in for service soon...

 

im glad i found this thread, ive had the SRS light on since i bought the car in december of 08, i just figured ill have my buddy fix it since hes a mechanic, but not knowin acuras, he couldnt, to the dealership we go, thanks guys

 

I have had this problem my SRS indicator light turned on and stayed on after i got my seat leather repaired since it was ripped and the seat had to be removed, took it to dealer, it was the seat belt buckle, warranty was on it i got a free brand new seatbelt buckle and bing srs light gone.

 

mine has been on for 2 weeks, I have 155,xxx miles. . . im not covered. . . what do I do?

 

Has anyone had a problem with vsc light and abs light coming on went off now back on and staying changed all brake pads and lights still on frt brakes good rear brake were coming to the end. help!

 

reset the light. once its off you can find out what triggered it. if its seatbelt buckle related then they will service it for free.

possibly tranny problems. see if you get anything from a code reader.

 

Thanks for the info ... This light is driving me crazy!

 

2001 CL Type S. SRS light has been on for couple of months. I dread taking it to the dealer because they're blood sucking vampires not to mention the incessant lying. The engine light has been on for more than 2 years but less than 3. I looked up the code with a loaner scanner from AutoZone which showed it was the thermostat, however the car has no problem heating or cooling - however the gas mileage has been poor. The coolant has not been changed since I bought the car new from the Accura dealer in Downey, CA. I will admit Downey Accura treated me fair but the current one is a dealership from hell. Last time I was there for an oil change, they wanted to charge $700 for repairs that I was so pissed I don't even remember what they said. I told them I would bring it in first thing next Monday.

This is a great post and I enjoyed reading experiences of fellow Accura CL owners. Overall I think CL Type-S is a good car with good mid-range power, a bit sluggish steering, too wide a turn radius but other than that it offers good value for the money.

I will report back what turns up with the SRS light.

 

dealer fixed mine for free

 

I have over 200K miles on my 2001 Acura CL - S and my SRS light is on ... I don't know what to do ? ... the dealers won't cover this right ?

 

What a Bummer =(

 

I stumbled upon this thread with my 01 CL-S clocking in at a little over 147k. Definetaly will be making an appointment this week to get this taken care of..

 

Yep, just made my appt. and they said they'll have to run a diagnostic to check to see if anything that deals with the OPDS system and/or seatbelt sensors are at fault. If so they'll replace all for free and waive the $95 + tax diagnostic fee, but if its something else thats causing the problem then I'm responsible for the $95 + tax diagnostic fee so we'll se how it goes on Thurs...

 

Hello all, My SRS light just came on last week, and this thread was very helpful. I took it in to Acura today and it actually was the drivers seat belt, which was under warranty. My out of pocket, $0, finally a good day at the dealer! lol
