2001 Accord EX (2 door) 98,000 miles

The SRS light is on in my wife's car, I have the service manual which has a
lengthily trouble shooting section. The first thing it said to check was the
fuse which is fine. Before I go through the whole section I thought it might
be worth asking if others have had this problem and what it took to correct
it.

Thanks for any help

Turn the light off first and see if it comes back again. Many problems are
transient and do not recur.

Check with Honda--Have the same car---I just got a letter from Honda
extending the warranty of the SRS system--don't have the numbers off hand
but you're well within the time limit and the mileage is something over
100,000 miles

The warranty extension covers "side airbag" DTCs 15-1, 15-2 and 15-3 only.

As was mentioned check with your dealer. The first thing that has to be done
is to pull the codes to determine where in the procedure to start.

Thanks for the replies I'm going to have the code read and then I'll erase
it to see if it comes back.

I have the same problem with my 2000 Accord SE.

Took it in for an oil change today and asked the mechanic to check it
out. They refused to touch it and suggested that I go to a dealership.

I hate dealing with dealerships service personnel. So, I researched a
little on the topic and found this link ...

56&summary=true

This suggests that we're not alone and I am not aware if Honda is doing
anything about it.

Probably too basic. but if you have side air bags the SRS light will come on
if----Packages, passenger leaning forward or something light weight in the
front seat. It, obviously, will seem to be intermittent.--Can't be that
simple.
