You probably want to get that checked out, because with that light on your airbags might not deploy or your seatbelts might not lock up in an accident. There's a diy to reset the light if everything is ok in your srs system. If something is wrong, you wont be able to reset it. You will need to take it to the dealer.

Reset SRS DIY

I went to my dealer and they only charged me 20 bucks to reset it, but if you can do it yourself you can save a little money.

They reset mine twice... then with the last inspection they found that a sensor (passenger) needs to be replaced. They replaced the sensor.... the next day the light came on again. I took it back and the sensor (driver) needs to be replaced. This time they had to order the part.

So get it checked out before you reset it yourself... it may not be a false alarm.

Imagine driving 75 on the highway and your airbags go off because a bad sensor because you didn't want to go get it looked at by honda for $20.00 wouldn't you just feel stupid telling the Highway Patrol what happened...

If you have installed aftermarket seats this is a common problem, but other than that I wouldnt really know.

I would suggest getting it looked at

just do the $hit yourself.. it takes me less then a minute to reset mine with a paperclip each time.... if you know what set it off then do it yourslef... but if your not sure take it to the dealership and if your car is under warenty they have to reset it with out charging you for it.
