Hi everybody... my SRS light came on couple of weeks ago. The side airbag light comes on and goes back & forth. I had a mechanic check it today, on the computer and it said DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG. He than took this yellow plug under the driver’s side, put it back in. Still the SRS light was on. HELP!!!

 

It helps if you state your cars year model and mileage

Call Acura Care at 1-800-382-2238 x5 6a-5p pacific time
there is an extended warranty on the SRS sensor
and intermittant side airbag light- related to passenger moving aroung in seat?
There is a sensor that requires the passenger to sit upright in seat.
Also any objects on pass seat like laptop or KFC bucket will set off the side airbag light

 

I posted this before, but was too lazy to link it in:

My SRS light came on too. Called the dealer and they had me bring it in right away and gave me a 06 TSX loaner with 2000 miles on it.

They did say they would charge me $105 to fix IF the problem was not the OBDS new warranty issue. I did not have much choice, so I said okay.

The problem turned out to be a sensor in the seatbelt. They have a LIFETIME WARRANTY, so NO CHARGE!!!

Hope this helps and the rest of you with this problem get lucky too.

 

I have a 2000 TL 3.2 with 114k miles on it.

 

I have 2000 TL and the mileage was 80K. The service rep said there was no expiration on the the warranty work.

Just to be sure, call the service desk and ask them about the seat belt sensor and the SRS light. If they do not tell you much say you thought there was a service bulletin on the subject. Be firm but polite. Good luck! Let us know how it goes.

 

Thanks I'll give them a call tmr.... I'll let U guyz know how that goes.

 

That good to know,Thank s

 

it sounds like the first mechanic you took it to, tried to reset the SRS light.

Here are some instructions to do it yourself:

If your SRS light comes on there may failure of the sensor- which is covered on a special 150 k miles/10 year waranty

Call Acura immediatly at 1-800-382-2238 X 5 and register your car by VIN- ask about seat belt and SRS sensor warranty, if they say symtoms are right- get to dealer for free warranty repair of a few very important safety parts!!!

Intermittant side airbag light is often related to passenger moving out of upright position and laying back or leaning agaist window, or object on seat tricking sensor, a laptop will set it off

 

Just did, will visit the dealership on Monday. Thanks
