On my way to get breakfast this morning I see something I've never seen this guy.... ... the red airbag man... If i turn the ignition off it will go away.. but it randomly comes back on.. I could be stupid but I honestly dont know why it would be on .. any ideas ?

 

Good info on this thread:

https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-tsx-problems-fixes-128/airbag-indicator-light-intermittently-turns-759380/

 

2 possibilities- defective srs unit or seat belt sensor. Im willing ti bet its one of those two, but higher chance on the srs unit

 

Mine came on after i installed my system... Might replace the ground. if that doesn't do it then im going to call Acura..

Oh, and last time i was at the dealer they told me it was a driver side sensor so. who knows.

 

I had the same icon pop on my 05 as well. Dealer said it was the driver and passenger side sensors. Fixed for free well outside of warranty.

 

This happened to me a while back. Take it to a dealer and they should fix it free of charge

 

I read the title and was like . Think they cover than in 7th grade health.

On topic tho. Ditto to everyone else.

 

haha didnt even realize how it was worded.. different little guy

 

thanks everyone... are you guys pretty positive the dealership will fix it for free or not? .. because the guys at the dealership here are pretty defiant when it comes to the word "Free"

 

thanks.. useful thread, I didnt know so many people had this problem

 

I'm fairly confident that this should be fixed for free because it is a safety issue.

 

Faulty sensor.

OR....

Your car recommends enormous breast implants.

 

even if we're all outside the basic and/or powertrain warranty???

 

I got the same thing happen a few weeks ago. I looked into it and it’s the driver side seatbelt sensor.

 

Btw its not that hard to replace these sensors urself in case dealer doesnt do it for free. Although they should, as long as ur car hasnt veen in an accident before.

 

 

Did you replace the sensor yourself? or did you take it to the dealership?

 

I think its a sensor that tells you it wants chicks with big boobs to ride with ya.

 

Fixed.

 

I did nothing yet. But if its FREE to fix at dealer like everyone says I probably let them do it.

 

I just took mine to the dealer and they said it would be $100 to diagnose it! Then I turned around and left.

Did you have something on the seat when you were driving?

I remember my 6th Gen Accord used to have an SR light that would randomly appear when I would set something on the seat that wasn't too heavy.

I believe the TL has a sensor in the seat and if the weight is less than X pounds, it disables the passenger airbag.

Is that what you mean?

 

thats a ass. you fail

 

lol on my 7th gen accord that used to come up but i never thought it was a sensor. It's annoying though i tell u that much.

 

I can only give you my experience. That icon popped up at around 100k miles. My warranty ran out at 50k. I have no extended warranty. Dealer did not charge me to diagnose it. They said they would look at it and let me know. Before I knew it, it was fixed. I do have a good relationship with my dealer but the S.A. told me since it was a safety issue it was fixed free of charge. It might of also helped that I researched this issue on AcuraZine before I took it in and told him what I thought the problem was and it seemed like a safety issue.

 

I think Im gonna take it to the dealership in the morning... Although, I drove all day today and it didnt come on once.. so idk wtf is going on..

 

 

I dont think its the passenger side airbag.. this has something to do with the driver side I assume

 

I would have did the same thing.... I shall follow in your footsteps tomorrow morning if they say that to me
