homebound Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hello all, In my 03 Accord LX the airbag/seatbelt light comes on and stays on at random start ups. Its been more frequent lately. Any ideas? I found a dealer that will "diagnose" it for $40. How much for a fix? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Matteu Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Any ideas? If by airbag light you mean the SRS Indicator Lamp, then it could be a pump issue or a sensor issue. Since you did not mention any unusual noise from the engine bay, I will assume it is sensor related. Although you could have just forgotten to mention this. The seatbelt light is primarily driven by a switch in your lapbelt buckle, but there may be some generational upgrades I am unfamiliar with. How much for a fix? Thanks Depends on what the problem is. I found a dealer that will "diagnose" it for $40. I say pay the $40.00 so you can stop feeling around in the dark looking for a solution. By the way, $40.00 isn't that bad.

homebound Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah, its the SRS indicator lamp. No unusual noises to report. I will have it checked out since it is a safety isssue. Thanks, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbith Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 For $40 just take it to the dealer. They have more specific knowledge of your car than most mechanics out there and will be able to point you to the problem the first time around.

Jeffro Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 SRS light by the way is anything with the supplemental restraint system. This is not always the airbags, it can also be related to your seatbelt (for instance if the switch goes bad). I had the same issue one time and it turned out it was my switch, and any work pertaining to your seatbelts is always under warranty by the manufacturer.
