SRS Light is on - HELP!

My 2001 EX V6 SRS light came on last week.  A little research said a low
voltage can cause this.  I noticed it cranked slower than usual that
morning.  I replaced the battery, and went through the steps and reset the
light (a real pain in the a.s).

Two days later, the person I carpool with, had the SRS light come on, on her
2001 LX V6 (what a coincidence!).

We had the battery checked and it was a little weak too.  Car has 114k on
it.

We replaced the battery, but the SRS light will not stay off after the
reset.

Any clues on what to check?  Or is this going to require a dreaded trip to
the dealer for her?

You can check the posts at http://tinyurl.com/bfkp2 for some clues. There
have also been reports of SRS lights coming on because something was placed
on the passenger seat, and the twitchy little sensor decided that meant
somebody was sitting there... yeah, a one pound passenger - that's the
ticket.

In any event, it helps to remember that warning lights from computers like
these most often mean they are getting sensor input that is troubling them
rather than trouble with the computer itself.

Do you know if this will throw codes for an OBDII scanner?

I know you can't reset this with an OBDII device.

I don't think so - AFAIK it is a separate system.

The SRS system has it's own set of DTC codes. They are stored in the SRS
computer and be read out, Actually they are flashed out in the SRS light.
You have to ground the short the SCS terminal on the DLC to read them out. I
don't know which pin it is on your vehicle, you will need a service manual
for that....

Maybe it is the same plug you use to short and reset the system.  I'll check
out the Service Manual.

Follow up.  The code says Drivers side seatbelt latch.  Called dealer, said
the seat belt system is covered, but not electronics.  If it latches, then
it's not Honda's problem.

What crap.

I had the same problem in 2005 with my 2001 LX V6 Accord at about 65,000 miles.  Honda
dealer diagnosed it and replaced the seat belt under warranty with no problem or argument.
