I have a 2005 Honda Civic Accord with 28,000 miles. My air bag light on the dash board went on?
Am I in danger?
Do I have to take this to a dealer of can a regular mechanic diagnose and correct the problem?
Not in danger per se, but your airbag probably won't work if the warning light is on, so if you have an accident you will not be as well protected.
You will probably be ok taking it to any mechanic for it to be checked as newer cars are all OBD2 compliant so they can plug in there computer and read what the problem is
You're not in immediately danger but the SRS could be in disable mode depend on the defect/cause and the air bags may not deploy if your car involve in an accident.
The most common cause for the SRS light is the driver seat belt buckle or seat sensors and yes, any repair shop will be able to retrieve the SRS code, go on with the diagnostic procedure find the cause that triggered the SRS light/ code and corrective action will take place.
If you want to repair it yourself, get the code read out. Send an E mail to me with the code and your E mail address and I'll send the material, instruction how to repair or to correct the problem including wiring diagrams if needed. HTH
Edit: The funny thing I've just found out on the question: What do you have? Civic or Accord? Lol
Accord. Sorry about that.
- Would you purchase a 2004 Honda pilot for $6,000.000 that has 216,000 miles on it? I'm just browsing online looking at cars for sale and a lot of them have 200k or more miles on them and they want $4,000 or more. Why do people sale their cars for such a high price with a lot of miles on them? Its not just Hondas its all types of cars private and dealers as well
- What could be wrong with a 2005 Honda Civic while driving no longer went forward or reverse? Transmission oil was full when checked Transmission is good as well Transmission oil was changed and filter Does rev up and there's some type of noise
- My air bag light was on for a week but has disappread since, should I still get it checked out? I own a 09 honda civic and the air bag light stayed on (while I drove) for about a week and then suddenly no longer stays on when I'm driving. It only pops up when I'm starting the car. Is this a problem that should be addressed immediately? And why did it disappear all of a sudden?
- 2005 honda civic went from having heat only when you are driving to having no heat? Have replaced thermostat twice, replaced the water pump, the heater core and the low idle valve. The system has been flushed ever time. It's went from having heat when you moving to having no heat at all.
