Airbag alert is on dash of my sierra, at 38,000 miles--dealer says they have to check it our; no idea what could cause this. I have never had such a problem with any honda product I have ever owned--many sine 1985.
Service airbag light has come on 3x in the life of this vehicle (at 99,500 miles currently). First was for right front airbag sensor. - replaced at a cost of 300+ dollars around 65k miles. Second was seat sensor - recalibrated it, no charge. Now at 99,500 miles my left front airbag sensor is bad. - replaced it myself at a cost of $100. Airbag issues at this low of mileage is unacceptable.
Airbag light indicator light does not turn off. Service air bag indicator is on when there has been no accident or bump to the vehicles.
