The srs light turned on last week at 75000 miles, and i know that it is related to the airbag restraint system. My husband had the same problem couple of years ago , and the dealer told him that the use of cellophane may have caused the system to malfunction. The dealer fixed it for free because the car was still under the 36000 mile warranty. After doing some investigation i found out that this problem was very…

My 2001 accord ex constantly displays an illuminated srs light on the dashboard. The system has been checked several times and i have been told there is no problem with it.

In the meantime, the air bags are deactivated in a vehicle that i purchased to provide safety for my daughter who recently applied…

Vehicle is a 2001 honda accord ex with 3.0 liter v-6 engine. Srs light on dash came on. I have been told that this means that the air bags will not deploy in an accident. I have also been told that the dealer charges $1300 to replace the srs module - which i do not have. Why isn't this safety feature covered under warranty? *nm

Tamara recall my son was killed in a car accident in his 2001 honda accord. His injuries were ruptured liver and spleen he was in emergency surgery for 6 hours before he passed away. The inside of his car wasn't damaged that much. It seems to me to sustain those injuries were probably the air bag didn't inflat properly.

Srs light comes on. Problem with air bags. I've heard that honda has a life time warranty on seat belts and not the air bag system. They should cover the srs(air bags) also. I've heard the srs is a common problem with 2001 honda accords. *jb

I own a honda accord ex v6 with nearly 40,000 miles. At times the srs light comes on until the ignition is turned off. This seems to be happening more and more. I took it back to the dealer but they said i would have to bring it back when the light is on. They could not find anything wrong via the computer memory. The manual says to bring the car in for service when the light goes on. *jb

My srs light is on at all times in my 2001 honda accord. I took it to a honda dealership in june, 2005. I was told that when the srs light is on, my air bag system is inoperable and air bags will not deploy on impact. Dealership inspection found a code for seat belt buckle switch/sensor causing the srs light. The buckle set has been special ordered and has not arrived after one month. In the meantime, i drive around…

I got online to research and have found that this is happening on many many 2001 accords. This is serious,…
