2020 Honda Accord: airbag warning light

Filed Oct 10, 2026 · Airbags, Electrical · TN

The Supplemental Restraint System Problem message along with the airbag light comes and goes on my dash randomly. Anytime I am able to take it to get scanned, it doesn’t show up. Then when I’m driving down the road it will randomly appear. It also appears sometimes when I first start the vehicle. My car has 66,200 miles on it and it first happened at 59,771 miles. The vehicle has never been roughly treated or heavy objects placed in the seats. I believe it is something electrical that is faulty because of failing Honda parts. My car shows there are no recalls for this, but other Accords do have a recall for this issue.

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.

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
