SRS light

[tommymac]

I have a 2000 accord and just saw that the light stayed on yesterday. Did little research on it so far. Some say to just ignore it and one suggested turning the key on/off like 10 times to reset it.

Anyone have any expierence with this and whats worst case as far as going to the shop/dealer to fix it.

You're air bag won't work until you get that fixed.

Bring it in to get checked.

If it is your seat belt tensioner, honda will replace it for free. It's got a lifetime warranty no matter miles or anything. He says they see a lot of this.

Well if it is the seat belt tensioner, it's a free fix, so that's good to know.

You could disconnect the negative battery terminal...wait about 10 minutes and reconnect and see if it reappears.

Trip is correct...what I posted is just another idea to make sure it's not just a dummy light...or a blip in the system due to all of the crazy electronics/sensors etc. in today's cars.

This is good info, my friend's 01 has this same light come on, I'll relay that info to him.

The Airbag light strategy does not work like the Check Engine light regarding how long it stays on. If a fault is detected, the light is illuminated and the airbags will not deploy in a crash. If the fault goes away, the light goes out.

Most airbag systems are pretty similar in functionality. They have an airbag, airbag module and 1-3 crash detection sensors (accelerometers). Most of the newer vehicles have only 1 crash sensor located within the airbag module.
