    The red srs light came on and stayed on for a period of two weeks. During this time, the car went to the dealership for diagnostic. They could not find any problems and cited that perhaps electronic equipment near the driver seat was causing interference of some kind. That doesn't make sense, as i have a 2000 (honda accord cpe ex v6) and have always had a cell phone and not had problems till now. The dealership…

    The srs light will not go out. The first time this happened was while we were on vacation and a dealer in fl checked it and reset w/out charge. Tech said it may have been caused by placing cell phone on passenger seat. If it came on again, it may have been caused by a defective sensor. I have refrained from having the cell phone on the seat since then (may 03). This past sunday the srs light came back on and will…

    Took 2000 honda accord exl to dealer for maintenance. Upon leaving the dealership the srs airbag light came on. I took it back and they told me i needed a new module/"airbag brain" and that without it my airbags may not deploy. I told them that light had never come on before until after they worked on my car, they told me that was a coincidence and that they were no where near that part of the vehicle. They did a…

    In sept. 2003 the srs warning light came on. After contacting the dealer who said the unit "fails test" we were informed this might involve replacement parts which would not be under warranty. Since this was a 2000 honda accord ex with only 49000 miles i felt this was an unwarranted repair. American honda agreed to cover the repair. The srs control unit was replaced on 10/3/03. On 10/8/03 we brought the car back to…

    2000 honda accord lx - srs light has been checked and reset (51,770 miles), the mechanic said that there was nothing wrong with system and he didn't know why the light had come on. It came back on again within a month. Honda tells me that the front and side passenger air bags will not deploy if this light is on. There is no extended warranty or recall for this make and model vehicle. This is unacceptable that honda…

    The srs light remains on in my 2000 accord. According to the honda dealer this means the passenger airbag will not deploy in a collision due to a faulty sensor. The car has only 33600 miles. It appears that this is a wide spread problem that should result in a recall campaign. *ak

In november 2004 i brought it to the dealer for the same…
