Side airbag light goes on and off on honda 2001 accord lx 4 door. Dealer found no problem and suggested that an object was on the front passenger seat. This problem has been repeating for over a year without objects on the front seat. Dealer is not helpful and has erroneously diagnosed my last two problems, causing me to pay for unnecessary repairs.*jb

2001 honda accord with 45000 miles. Srs red light on the dash that indicates the front airbags are likely disabled stays on. A honda mechanic has tested for the error code and reset the srs twice. Both times the light came back on after starting the car. The code from his test indicates that the unit controlling the front air bags is the problem. Seems to me that part should not fail on a car this new with this few…

On 7/28/05 my srs light came on for the 5th time in the 4.5 years i've owned the car. This is my second filing with nhtsa on this issue. My dealer has been willing to replace and reset the sensor, but not before chastising me for placing my cell phone in proximately to the passenger seat. Although they have supporting documents from honda on this "electronic interference" i find this difficult to believe as i drive…

Seems much to soon to have something like this…
