Airbag light?

ohiocivicracer · 10-05-2006, 02:46 PM

So i was just driving around last night, nothing to hard, i mean i do hit the rev lim but not like slamming it or anything, and the airbag light came on... side airbag off and the picture with the driver and airbag...

any ideas why?

No, but I'd take that into the dealer asap if I were you.

Could a stone or something have flung itself through the grill into one of the impact sensors or whatever?

lol happeneds to me alll time time... I think it's just one more thing I suck up because if I let all of the little things wrong with this car get to me it would be sold :) But, I haven't taken it to the dealer because I know they will say "well, it's not on there is nothing we can do about it" since it only comes on when it wants to.

i think i will take it up just to see what they say, its only 4 min away from my house... maybe it will come on on the way there...

its not the airbag sensor in the front end, its not physically possible. The rock would have to fly through your bumper.

But yeah, get it checkzored.

I'm wondering if they would be able to tell from a reading or not? I mean they have records leading up to an accident, so I would imagine they would be able to tell when an airbag light would come up, deploy, etc. I'd bring it into the dealership and see what they can do. I mean, even if they don't fix anything, then it is not completely useless - it's been documented and if anything happens, then you can refer back to it and point fingers (learnt this little dirty trick from Type_X)

My Red airbag light comes on, it is a stored code in the ECU. So your dealer will not say, "well, it's not on now" I have to take mine in also...it was actually found by the dealer when I did the reflash. Let me inform....THIS IS NOT FROM THE REFLASH. My dealer mentioned it to me at the same appointment. So i should bring mine in also..

i hit a curb and the two same lights came on. they said they had tto replace the entire airbag system. the dealership i went to were assholes and i think they jux said that to get money out of me. i was wondering if the sensors n stuff could be reset becuz none of my airbag deployed.

i had my airbag lights come on a few days after i put my car back together from my sound deadening project :) scard the crap outta me, but they were only on for a few seconds and it hasn't happened again.
