Some Honda HR-V owners report experiencing intermittent activation of the rear passenger seatbelt warning light despite no diagnostic issues. This behavior may be attributed to a faulty seatbelt sensor that triggers the light even when the seatbelt is buckled. Additionally, a dirty or damaged seatbelt buckle can disrupt the connection, causing the warning light to activate. Some owners find that resetting the vehicle's onboard computer system resolves the issue, while others may encounter wiring problems related to the seatbelt system that lead to the light staying on intermittently. Inconsistent seatbelt usage by passengers can also confuse the detection system, contributing to the warning light's erratic behavior. It is crucial to address these potential causes to ensure the proper functioning of the seatbelt warning system, and if the issue persists, consulting a professional mechanic for a thorough inspection is advisable.
