Airbag light.

It's supposed to come on when you start your car, but if it comes on during your drive and then goes away, could be an airbag sensor.

I wouldn't tinker with it.

Bring it into your dealer and have them deal with it.

Airbag errors are NOT something you should put off. What if you got into an accident?!?!?
Acura has to do something about it without charging you, if I recall correctly.

It's serious. Safety first.
Now if your headlight bulb blew out, or you scratched your seat, they wouldn't do anything about it without charging you.

Same goes with your seatbelt.
If there's something wrong with your seatbelt, I think they will do repairs for free.
Safety first, right?

Cheers!

Many times the sensor in the drivers seatbelt goes bad which disables the whole system. The SRS system is an all good or go offline type system.

Not sure about being a freebee out of warranty but it's worth a try.

Not to scare you but the first week I bought my TL I had that light. The dealer replaced the battery and cleared the code . On my way back home came back on. So I took it back and they replaced the impact sensor and the light went away. On my way home came back on. 3rd time to the dealer they took my whole car apart and replaced the whole airbag harness . I would say take it to the dealer. Good luck bro
