Five problems related to front air bag sensor control have been reported for the 1998 Honda Accord. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Srs light keeps coming on even after having car inspected by my local Honda dealer at a cost to me of over $100. They told me that they found nothing wrong with the srs system and reset the light. I've been told that many Honda autos have this problem. I don't want to keep having to spend $100+ to have the car inspected only to be told there is nothing wrong (and the light reset) but at the same time I don't want to be in an accident and have my airbags not deploy.
On Sunday sept. 28, 2003 my door locks failed, the electric window controls on the drivers side failed to operate the passenger side windows (however the window controls on the individual doors still worked) and my srs indicator light came on. I had the ignition replaced and it cured the door lock and electric window problem. The srs indicator light is still on. The dealer refuses to reset the code fro the srs light and wants to charge a $88. 00 diagnostic fee. This problem is a direct result of the faulty iginition switch and should be fixed!.
Srs light is on; therefore, is not working. Light has been on since 5/01 pulled a code 06-3. Cost over $600 to reair, owner (friend) declined. Bought the car used (friend), dealership reset the light but it came back on. I have read numerous complaints online of others with the same situation. This is a major issue with Honda, needs to be a recall as this is such a key safety feature.
1) the emergency brake light came on and would not go off. A bump would finally make it go off. Paid to have fuel cap replaced, didn't help. Put fuel cap of 2000 Accord on, didn't help. Disabled sensor from cap, finally resolved light issue. Became invalid, and drove with brake on several times due to frequency of light being on. 2) srs light came on without reason. Diagnostic checks (3) indicated nothing was wrong. Finally replaced the sensor and problem was resolved.
Consumer was traveling 55mph and clashed head-on into another vehicle. Upon impact, airbags didn't deploy. Dealer told consumer to call NHTSA hot line. Also, it could be because of the sensor.
