Have you tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it?

gen2 has a special procedure IF its come on after you were messing with any of the cars wiring- THEN it came on
Otherwise it means a prob in system
Call acura 1-800-382-2238 x5 and register as owner- need VIN
ask if there is any recall or known issue with the srs for your year

gen2 has a special 10/150k mile srs warranty due to a problem - as referance
car age or number of owners doesnt matter on recalls -if one exist for you
Good luck!

if you did mess with any wiring before the light- google acurazine.com + srs reset

I had to reset once before.
Download the manual and it has the procedure.

Basically, there is a connector under the driver side dash. It's I think yellow.
you will need to reset that using a paper clip.

This was copied and pasted from a Honda site.
The procedure is similar.

It is a yellow connector with two wires in it that is plugged into the fuse box. NOTE: This will only reset your SRS System if what caused it to trigger has been fixed, Ex: turning the ignition on with any SRS Plugs disconnected, such as pulling your seat out.

1st step in erasing the memory is to turn the ignition off and connect the SCS Service connector to the MES Plug,

2nd Turn Ignition on. SRS indicator light will come on for about 6 seconds then go off.

3rd Disconnect SCS service connector for MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS indicator light goes off. SRS indicator light will come on again.

4th Reconnect SCS service connector the MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS light comes on. SRS indicator light will go off.

5th Disconnect SCS service connector from MES connector within 4 seconds. SRS indicator light will indicate that memory is erased by blinking 2 times.

6th Turn ignition off, and wait 10 seconds. Start vehicle like normal and light should come on and go out like normal. You have reset your SRS light, congrats.

If it does not work the first time try it again, the timing has to be perfect. My first time it took me 3 attempts before it worked, but it did work.
