We are getting an airbag warning intermittently. It happens most often when our daughter (about 80-90lbs) is in the passenger seat. I see that the 2020-2022 Accords have an active safety recall for the sensor in the passenger seat but our dealer (performance kings Honda - Cincinnati) is saying there isn't one for our VIN. I have screenshots of the app and the dash. Thank you!
Supplemental restraint system problem. See you dealer. Warning light.
Supplemental Restraint System Problem
Passenger airbag intermittently works correctly. Sometimes the airbag comes on with an 85lb and 110lb children, but not always. According to the manual, the children are well above the 65lb minimum weight. At another time, sensor did not come on with a 160lb adult. Weight sensor does not appear to be working properly. Honda service performed diagnostic and code B00D5-14 appeared, so they replaced the faulty switch hazard SRS on/off switch. Problem is still occurring - airbag turns on intermittently when children (85lb and 110lb) sits in passenger seat.
On December 26, 2025, the supplemental restraint system problem appeared on the dashboard. On January 6, 2026, vehicle was taken to Stockton Honda service department to performed a diagnostic test and multi-point inspection was completed. During this time the diagnostic results showed a code B0020-13, open or increased resistance in the left side airbag inflator. They recommend starting with the inflator replacement parts, SRS unit and program, and driver seat belt.

I tried to take my car to the dealer because my car brakes on its own and it had a alert that something was wrong with the air bags . I can ve driving anywhere and without reason the car breaks putting my life in danger and my family. I have tried to contact the dealer about this serious matter but I don't get anywhere. I am reaching out to see what solution we can come to ?
I have a seat sensor airbag code and a b0d5 code
Received the following message "Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer" on my car dashboard. Brought to dealer and was told the issue was with the front passenger airbag cut on/off indicator. Was told this needed to be fixed or the airbag would not work. It was not covered by Honda as it was over 3 years and 36000 miles. Spoke to Honda and was informed I am not the only one with this problem but they would not cover it. Had to go out of pocket almost $500 on a malfunction that should be covered by a recall.
I had an appointment today (4/18/2025) at Causeway Honda in Manahawkin, NJ to remedy the recall of the 2020 Honda Accord seat weight sensor circuit board. When I got there Amanda from the service department said they cannot fix the issue because Honda will not pay for it. She said that they are only fixing cars that has an SRS indicator illuminated on the display panel.
THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF SAYING THAT I NEED TO TAKE IT BY THE DEALER FOR THEM TO FIX IT. WENT BY THERE MONDAY THEY CLEARED CODE AND THEN IT CAME BACK ON MONDAY EVENING. DROPPED IT OFF THIS MORNING AND THEY SAID IT GONNA COST OVER 300$. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS BUT MY VIN DID NOT SHOW UP. BUT IT STILL COULD BE AFFECTED
Supplemental Restraint System Issue warning light illuminated on dash board. Immediately took to dealer and dealer diagnosed to be bad air bag sensor. No prior warning lights have been noticed
When setting something on my passenger seat such as a water bottle filled with water and a purse, the SRS light is triggered on the dashboard. After doing some research there was a safety recall for the passenger weight sensor on my vehicle model however my vin was not included.
My car is well taken care of but about 2 months ago the SRS light started to come on out of no where. It randomly comes on and most the time turns off after turning my car off and back on. Sometimes it doesn’t come off and sometimes it’s off for weeks before coming back on. Again, my car is not altered in any way or has never been in any accident. Car has 50k miles and I bought it from the dealership. I do not trust the dealership I bought it from because when there was a another recall for something with the gas pump, my car literally shut down on me and they took three days to repair something that only takes five minutes because they stated they needed to diagnose it, but I knew exactly what it was and they still did not listen to me
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? THE SRS LIGHT IS GOING OFF AND READING "SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM PROBLEM. SEE YOUR DEALER". How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? THE AIRBAGS ON MY PASSENGER SEAT Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? YES, THERE IS A RECALL ON THE EXACT ISSUE, BUT THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? IT WAS INSPECTED BY HONDA OF LINCOLN. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? YES. JANUARY 28, 2025, I GOT IN MY CAR AND THE SRS LIGHT WAS GOING OFF. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE SEEN BY HONDA OF LINCOLN, AND THEY ARE REPORTING THE SRS DEVICE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THOUGH THERE IS A OPEN RECALL. I AM BEING TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.
