If you are getting an SRS light on a 2003, you need to take it to the
dealer. It is under warranty after all.

Re: "Maintenance Required" light
 
I have 91 Accord EX Sedan and I recently did the oil change.
Mine also has the maintainance indicator on red.Dont know how to reset it.
Searched inside the Chilton's Manual but had nothing said about it.
Can anbody help ? All ideas suggestions welcomed. I will look under dash if
I can find any reset button.

Thanks

If there is a slot in the bottom of the instrument panel near the indicator,
stick you key in it and it will change it back to green. It is detailed in
the owners manual rather than the service book.

I believe that this is associated with the air bag system and if so, it
indicates that your air bag system is deactivated.
