Hi, new member here. Thanks to everyone for all of the great advice and ideas I've been enjoying for several weeks now.
I have an '05 EX-L RES with about 900 miles on it. I'm wondering about the operation of the passenger airbag light (the one just above the hazard button). When a passenger weighing about 130 pounds is sitting in this seat and I start the engine, the light comes on for a few seconds, supposedly indicating that the airbag is OFF, then it goes out again. It does the exact same thing with no one sitting in the seat.
The owner's manual states that the airbag will be disabled when the sensors detect either no passenger or one who weighs less than approximately 65 pounds. Because I can see no difference in the behavior of this indicator light regardless of whether the seat is occupied, I'm wondering if I need to have my van looked at or if this is normal.
Thanks in advance for your help.
