Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid

Electronics (cell phones, dvd, laptops, etc) can cause a failure of the opds sensor and pad assembly causing an air bag warning.

The vehicle's srs light started to come on. It would come on and off until it finally stayed on. We took it to the dealer and the dealer said it was the airbag control module. It would cost $700 to repair. Based on a different defect, Honda has extended the warranty on their srs if the error code comes up as 15-1, 15-2, 15-3 (opds sensor or control unit). This warranty did not cover the defect I have on the airbag. My error code was 7-2, the "control module. With the srs light on, the airbag (according to the dealer) is not active. I can not afford to pay $700 to fix this. This is a safety equipment issue resulting from a defect. Airbag shouldn't "wear out". I did some research on the internet and there are many complaints about this from other owners. At $700, I'm sure there are many drivers driving around without airbags.
