SRS light is on
SRS light is on
Ok The SRS light is on and stays on.
I have 180,000 on the clock so no warranty.
I checked for a code, but none showed.
Is it the passenger seat? I know it would used light up if my wife had her purse and other stuff on the seat.
Just trying to decide if it is something simple to fix, or not.

It could be a number of things but most likely one of our seat belt connectors has gone bad. It seems to be a common problem. From my understanding with the SRS light on there is the possibility that the air bags will not work correctly.
Try reseting srs and just observe what triggers srs to fail. Most likely its passenger seat OPDS ( passanger detection) failure - I believe there is a recall for that. Reset is fairly simple. Uder driver side kick pannel, there is two wire yellow plug ,pluged into dummy spot. Disconnect it and put some speaker wire into connectors. With egnition off, short circuit. turn egnition on (II position) and wait about 3-5 seconds for srs to disappear, than within 2 sec open circuit -srs reapears, within 2 secs close circuit again. Srs will blink twice - turn off egnition and remove ext wire

This is a copy of a post I left on another thread regarding the SRS and my experience dealing with it....not sure if it helps.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Hopefully, this helps clear things up.
I just got off the phone with Acura Client Services and this is what I was told...
If, the car has a branded title (salvaged) the vehicle is ineligible for any extended warranties....like the 2nd Gen transmission issues, etc.
The OPDS Sensor, which is often the faulty part, is an item covered by Acura's warranty and wouldn't be replaced by the dealer for any CL owner with a branded title.
However, if it is determined that the faulty part is not the OPDS Sensor and rather with the mechanical belt, female belt buckle, or physical seat belt.
That is an item covered by all Acura dealerships under the general lifetime warranty of the seatbelt.
So, you need to find out what is "tripping" your SRS sensor and determine exactly what is the faulty part.
In the case for me...it is the female belt buckle and that will be replaced under the lifetime warranty of the seatbelt.
NICE!!! Just saved myself 90 bucks!
