SRS (airbag) computer in Acura 3.2 TL	Reply
by WC1J on November 23, 2001	Mail this to a friend!
Just put an 706MKIIG with Comet all band antenna in '02 TL with nav system. Seemed to transmit on 10m bands and above with no problems. Tried on 20m and nav system display dimmed and noise from somewhere in bowels of car heard. Also, I noticed the SRS indicator (indicating a problem with the restraint system) on. Anybody have any ideas? Sure hate to get hit with $1000+ for a fried computer... 73 WC1J

Hi there! First question: how do you have the power connected? A good solid connection to the battery and a solid vehicle ground is a MUST! Next: check the ground from your antenna mount to the vehicle. Make sure the antenna mount and your radio ground are at the same potential. Don't depend on your coax to complete the ground for the mount. Third: tune the antenna CAREFULLY! I had a similar problem on 20 with a Kenwood TS-130S in my service van (a 2000 Chevy Express). Before I did a very careful retuning job on my antenna (a Hustler mast with resonators), I had a very impressive array of flashing lights on my dashboard when I transmitted on 20. Give these suggestions a try. As you say, computer replacements are expensive! (So are airbags...personal experience!). 73, Larry, N2HBX

Larry, Thx for your comments. I've got the radio connected directlto the battery. Also, I have the radio chassis grounded directed to the auto chassis. I need to work on making sure the antenna is well grounded. I may have just tripped the SRS warning light without damaging the computer. I'll have to bring it in on Monday and find out... 73, Bill
