Maybe. Or maybe just a seat belt latch problem.

How old is the car? In theory (well, regs kind of recommend it, but
don't require it) your car should tell you when it's about 12 years
old and that you should replace your airbags. Or at least that's what
the guy who put the new one's in my wife's Accord said. Of course, he
replaced them because "the air bags went off. They went off when I
hit the car in front of me."

The RMS Titanic sank on April 15th. US income taxes
are due on April 15th. Coincidence? I think not.

"Maybe a seatbelt latch problem" - I hope it is just that.

You made my day. It's 2:37 am and I wouldn't like
to be farting about in the car parked on the street.
But I will when time comes.
I just borrowed my daughter's Civic 2001 and this
damn light came on. I somehow saw this SRS some-
where and I had a hunch it pertains to airbags.
I'm not too familiar with the controls, so I fumbled with
some buttons and could not get the seatbelt buckle
to lock in properly but then it did.

So you might be right. It seems to be the cause.

Thanks for the time being.
Sam

 

It's Honda Civic 2001. And it's unlikely, or not so likely, that the
car needs a new airbag.
Paul suspects it might have to do with the seat belt.
I hope it's something simple. Maybe I upset something when
I fumbled with the instrument panel controls.
Tomorrow, I'll disconnect the battery to reset the computer.
I'll see if the warning disappears.

And thanks for your consideration
Sam.

A couple of months ago, I had to replace the driver's side seat belt
lock when the SRS light tripped. A faulty connection in the latch was
the cause.

 

could be as simple as something under the drivers or passenger seat .
my daugther put an ice scraper under the drivers seat . it hit some kind
of sencer and made the light some on . the dealer checked it and resit
it . no charge . of course it was under warrenty
