Honda Gienia Dash Lights Spark Safety Concerns

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2016 Honda Civic (gasoline). The speedometer and airbag lights came on simultaneously. Turned out the acceleration sensor was defective, which affects both the speedometer readings and the airbag system's ability to detect rapid deceleration. Got it checked at the garage last month. The mechanic ran diagnostics and confirmed the faulty sensor. It wasn't just a simple sensor replacement, they had to recalibrate the entire system after installing the new part. The whole repair took about 4 hours. This isn't something you want to ignore as it affects safety systems. My mechanic mentioned that faulty readings from the sensor could cause unexpected airbag deployment or prevent deployment when needed. Hope this helps with your decision-making. Just make sure whoever checks it has the right diagnostic tools for Honda systems. Good luck!

Hey, thanks for sharing your experience! That's really helpful since it sounds exactly like what I'm dealing with. I've been meaning to ask, do you remember roughly how much the repair set you back? And has everything been working smoothly since the fix? Just want to make sure I'm prepared for what's ahead with my Gienia.

Hey again! Happy to help! Yes, everything has been running perfectly since the repair, including that Active hood malfunction which was driving me crazy! The total bill came to 315€ for fixing the defective acceleration sensor. While it wasn't cheap, I'd say it was worth every penny considering it's a safety-critical component. The car's been running like a dream since the fix, no more warning lights, and all systems are working exactly as they should. It's such a relief not seeing those warning lights pop up on the dash anymore! Trust me, getting it sorted properly by a qualified mechanic is the way to go. I know it might seem a bit pricey, but when it comes to safety systems, it's better to get it done right. Been driving worry-free for several months now! Let me know how you get on with yours!

Thanks so much for all the details! I bit the bullet and took my Gienia to a certified mechanic yesterday. You were spot on about the acceleration sensor! The mechanic found the same issue and fixed it right up. Cost me a bit more, around 350 €, but honestly, I'm just relieved it's sorted. The whole process was smoother than I expected. They had me in and out in about 5 hours, and the mechanic was super thorough in explaining everything. Best part? No more annoying warning lights on my dash! The car's running perfectly now, and I feel much safer knowing all the safety systems are working properly. Really appreciate you sharing your experience, it helped me know what to expect and gave me confidence to get it fixed right away. Sometimes spending a bit more upfront saves a lot of headache later, right? Thanks again for the help!
