Side Airbag Warning Light?

    My side airbag warning light came on for a few minutes and then back off
    while driving down the road. This happened a couple weeks ago and never
    again. I opened and shut my door at a light before it went back off
    (don't know if that's related).

    Mean anything? (2000 Honda Accord 4-door V6)

    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Was there a passenger, Mine does this if a passenger leans to one side,
    removing some of the weight off the seat sensor

    If you had something on the passenger's seat, that
    would activate the light for a moment. Especially,
    if it moved while the vehicle was in motion.

    I see--I didn't realize something in the front passenger seat might
    trigger it; that's probably what it was. Thanks Brian and Jim.

    It's on page 46 of the (2001) owner's manual.

    It indicates that the side airbag has been deactivated due to someone
    leaning in its path. It can cause injury if it were to go off and the
    person (or child's head) is in the way.

    Tell them to sit up...

    Same car--happened to me when I first had the car. When everything checked
    out OK was told by the mechanic that it was probably caused by the passenger
    leaning over. Went through a simulation of the event--leaning over to open
    the glove compartment and----- the light went off. BTW, when it is on the
    air bag system is deactivated.

    Just the side air bag.
    There is a sensor in the seat, and a sensor in the seat back.
    It seems to sense when someone leans toward the door, rather than leaning
    forward to reach into the glove compartment, but it is a fairly simple
    mechanism, and might be easily fooled.
