Srs light on the dash stays on. It is my understanding that the airbags will not deploy with light on. I had an independent mechanic determine that the airbag control module needs to be replaced. I believe this should be a repair that should be covered by a manufacturer warranty. Based on review of the website there are several other incidents of this same problem for this make, model and year.

Srs light on dash stays on. Dealer cannot reset to get light to stay off. Acura of denville, nj says opds (occupant position detection system) and sensor assemblies need to be re-placed at a cost of $1349.65 (+ tax). With SRS light on air bags will not deploy. The SRS failure appears to be the failure most documented in this forum. It is a safety issue which should have a recall to correct the problem.
Srs light stays on problem with sensor for airbag.
Srs light appears in dash indicating failure of the opds unit (occupant position detection system) this unit is responsible for airbag/seat belt detection and deployment. This component should be replaced free of charge due to the fact that it is seat belt/airbag related. This component fails frequently according to independent online service technical support.
Dt: 2000 acura rl. The consumer states has a SRS sensor in the passenger's seat. He feels it is defective because it is on. The dealership told him to replace the sensor, which indicated that the whole seat must be replaced. If the sensor is not replaced the passenger's side air bag may not deploy. This problem has not yet been fixed. The manufacturer put the information in their database.
The SRS light on my 2000 acura rl has come on and will not go off...I see that there was a problem with honda vehicles with this problem...does the recall also apply to acura rl models?...please advise.
S.r.s light came on and took it in to the dealer on nov. 4, 04'. The dtc code requiered to have the left seat belt hoster replaced. On nov. 7th the s.r.s light came back on, so I took the car back to the dealer (hoy fox acura). The dtc code this time was 15-3 witch indicates that the opds sensor or opds unit now needs to be replaced. The only thing is that this time it will not be covered under warranty like the seat belt hoster (since seatbelts have lifetime warranty). So it seams to me that there is defenetly something wrong with the airbag system sensors and that a recall should be send out for this. Instead of one having to pay $532 for parts, $75 for labor and $75 for diag., plus taxes.
