Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
I had purchased the vehicle from a private seller. It had an SRS light on at the time I purchased it. The code reader indicated high resistance to the driver airbag. While trying to change the clock spring, I removed the drivers airbag from the steering wheel and found that the wires to the airbag were cut and the wires from the harness were connected to two black blocks. A google search said that these blocks were most likely emulators. I don’t know for sure but they were certainly put there intentionally by someone and my airbag was entirely disconnected except for the green ground wire.
Airbag light came on intermittently. Had module and something else replaced by McCarthy Honda in Overland Park, KS.

I was involved in accident due to the weather . I slide off ice and crash into a guard rail and light pole and my vehicle failed to deploy the airbags . I was not going fast due to weather. The seat belt worked probably which jammed after the impact, but my airbag warning light appear on dash board, but no airbags deployed which worries me. It’s in a collision shop now getting observed .
I was leaving work hopped into my car and started driving. About 20 minutes of being on the road my passenger seat airbag deployed and the roof curtain one for passenger side as well. I got out of my car to inspect for damage found none. The only lights on the dash were the airbag light. I am planning to take it to Honda and file a claim the body shop said it's an expensive repair, but I did nothing wrong.
