My son just bought 2015 Accord LX 2.4L with 80K miles. SRS light came on 6 days later Honda service diagnosed as code 82-11 internal failure of front passengers weight sensor (front inner side). Performed troubleshooting and found seat weight sensor is faulty, need to replace seat rails at this time and reprogram new seat weight sensors. Quote is $2,409 We were not expecting something like this and really disappointed as this was not in his budget.
Car Fax did not indicate accident, makes me wonder if care has actually been in accident, how likely that sensor failed with out accident?
Why would seat rails need to be replaced? Is the sensor integrated to seat rails? Doe anyone have an illustration?
IS there a way to confirm sensor is bad?
How difficult is this as a DIY repair. I assume that there is a recalibration requiring access to computer. I would think I would need an authorized service location for that part of repair.
Any recommendations how best to resolve?
FYI they also want to charge $94 dollars to replace valve stem on spare tire. Unless technology is changed this seems ridiculous to me. I'll check tire shop.
