My girlfriend told me that her side airbag light is coming on at random times in her '02 accord coupe. Anybody here had a similar experience? Suggestions? I did a search and didn't really find what I was looking for.

 

I had the same problem once. I looked in the manual and it said something about passenger seat being too low or something like that. So I made the passenger seat higher. Basically I was playing around with the passenger seat (moving it back and forth, up and down) until the sideairbag stuff went out.

 

Hey bro,


Give the dealer a call first and tell them the situation , they might ask you to take in the car to the dealer. Since it's a 02 it will be under warrenty.

 

it's normal, checked and rechecked at dealer.
my friend's 2000 av6, when i lean on the window or try to take something
from the back seat it's on..only the sensors, tell your gf is completely fine and
dont worry about it

 

First ... make sure you do NOT have anything on the seat ... like a cell phone or a laptop. This will make that happen. If you are sure that you do NOT have any of these on there when that happens ... then by all means ... go to the dealer and have him check it out. There is a sensor in the left side of the left seat that will cause a problem like you are mentioning. The dealer can figure that out by checking for codes which should be stored in the computer.

 

well if you are that worry then go to the dealer..make them do the check for free...my friend did, with a car wash too

 

Thanks for all your help, guys. What's weird is that I was riding in her car yesterday, and the light never came on. Apparently it only happens when there is no passenger. Oh well....dealership time, I guess.

 

Man , i would say take it to Honda right away cuz them airbags r dangerious stuff especially if u dont expect it better get someone to look at that
