Do you have stuff (anything) on the passengers seat ??

If so, remove it. If not, a sensor might have gone bad (there's a couple of threads here about that).

1- look underneath dash, near fusebox, for a 2-wire yellow plug, disconnect it and pull it down so you can work with it.

2- turn ignition OFF

3- jumper the 2 wires together (cut paperclip in half and straighten, insert one end of both halves into back end of plug where each wire goes in, touch them together and hold)

4- turn ignition ON (SRS light will turn on for 6 seconds, then turn off)

5- within 4 seconds of SRS light turning off, unjumper the 2 wires (SRS light will turn back ON)

6- within 4 seconds of SRS light turning on, jumper the 2 wires (SRS light will turn back OFF)

7- within 4 seconds of SRS light turning off, unjumper the 2 wires (SRS light will blink ON and OFF, indicating SRS function is reset)

See ya SRS light...

When you're done don't forget to plug the connector back in.

Not as complicated as the other replies. I took it to Acura, they changed the sensor for free and the light went off.
Try that.

If your car is under warranty that would work ok too...

Since mine is not, I'll stick to the *free* paper clip.
