My airbag on my 2012 Honda Civic goes off and on every 5 seconds?
If I turn on the car with someone sitting in the passenger seat my car alerts me every 5 seconds that the airbag is off then on then off then on for the duration of my drive. It is really annoying because it beeps while its doing this. However if I turn on the car wait 30 seconds and then someone sits inside this problem doesn't happen. What can I do to fix it? I took it to Honda and they can't seem to find the problem. They changed all the sensors already.
*I was in a car accident prior to this. Airbags never come out
Cars equipped with modern two stage airbags have a sensor in the seat that does one of three things all the time. If nobody is sitting in the seat, as measured by a sensor like a bathroom scale, then the airbag on the passenger side will not go off in an accident saving a lot of money in post crash repairs. Should baby seat be hooked in that seat, it would be bad if it went off. Also, a young 80 plus pound child doesn't need the full power blast from the airbag because it won't then be soft enough to do a child much good so the depowered deploy works best. Third, the airbag does it's normal parlor trick for adult passengers in the seat.
If you have a person in the seat that happens to be at or near the weight causing the airbag to arm and disarm as you ride down the road, that could theoretically cause your problems.
Is there more than one Honda dealer in your area? This is a lifetime warranty item and a safety device. It needs to be fixed by them no matter what. If you aren't satisfied then someone higher than the dealership needs to get involved.
- 97 CBR 600 F3 shuts off every time I pull the clutch in? I have a 97 Honda Cbr 600 F3 that has been in the shop for 8 months every time I get it back the bike shuts off after 30 miles of riding it, it does this as soon as I pull in the clutch coming to a stop. That is until I lost compression in the motor and all but one cylinder stopped firing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what happened?

I have a 2003 Honda Oddessy it makes a while noise only when I accelerate. If I let off the gas it stops and goes away. What could it possibly be? Sounds like it's coming from the driver side for sure.
- Passenger airbag off? My mom hit my 2011 Honda Civic on the rear bumber. It was just a small scratch but since then the Passenger Air Bag off light has been on. Is there a way to fix it or should I take it to be repaired? My bad, it said Side Airbag not passenger. @Gary it's a small garage and it was an accident no fraud, no insurance claim is being made and it's a small dent.
