Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Air Bag light is on. Dealer said it it probably just a faulty relay switch and turned it off. It came back on. I'm listing the date as today, but this has been going on for over 5 years, no incident, but why is light on? I do not trust the airbag system.

Recently purchased vehicle. When test driving airbag light did not light. Now airbag light goes on intermittently indicating fault in srs airbag protection system. Multiple owners of this vehicle have reported this problem on this make and model on internet.
The airbag light comes on sporadically - almost all of the time when it's cold, and then on/off when it is warmer. Throws the code B0001-13 - Open or Increased Resistance in Driver's Airbag Inflator. Brought it to the dealership and they told me that I needed to get the whole driver's side airbag replaced (to the tune of $1300 dollars). With the plethora of recalls surrounding 2000s to 2010s Civics, I have a hard time believing this shouldn't be covered under some sort of recall, especially with the amount of other people online who have experienced the same issue.

Airbag warning light comes on sporadically. Consistently when it is cold out, all the time after hitting the horn. There is an issue apparently with the driver side airbag inflator which occurs in this model year vehicle that both the federal safety agency and Honda is ignoring.
The check airbag light comes on and off intermittently.
This is the second time I report this problem with the airbags. The check airbag light keep coming on and off, sometimes couple of time a day, specially in hot days. All this started about 2 years ago, and reported here and contact the dealer which they want to charged me for a diagnostic. I seen many people also reporting the same issue here, I hope this can address as soon as possible because is a safety hazard.
Airbag warning indicator has been coming on Intermittently for the last 3 weeks and now is on all the time. Started as passenger airbag warning then went to just airbag warning indicator.
