With car off.

Reach thru the steering wheel with your left hand and press and hold both the buttons on the dash (reset and a/b?).

Turn the key so the power comes on but not the engine.

Hold for 10 secs.

I think that's it.

This will NOT reset the SRS light. You will need to go to the dealer to have your SRS system checked. If the SRS light is on, it's probably for a good reason, they don't typically malfunction.

Actually, the SRS light malfunctions are a real problem. Here is a reset procedure from another thread.

Here are the instructions for resetting the SRS light.

1. two wires green in a yellow block (small)
2. under dash left of steering wheel as the driver sits.
3. smaller yellow block is the right one and is located one inch above another bigger yellow wire block which has a spring loaded connector.


Jump it with the paper clip, turn the car on, wait for the SRS light to go off, yank the paperclip out. It'll light up again, shove the paperclip back in...then it'll turn off. Yank it out. It'll then blink twice to tell you it's reset.

to continue what Ymiked has posted from another thread (thanx to DareIL for the instructions)

I cut a thin paperclip to about 2cm long, then bent it with needle nosed pliars so it looked like a staple. Then I just used the needle nosed pliars to push it in and out of the plug.

Takes about 20 seconds when you get the idea, good luck.peace.

well, after you reset it, and the light comes back again, then you might have a problem. Knowing Acura dealership to diagnose and to fix the problem will cost you an arm and a leg.

My malufnction was that the yellow warning light, thats goes on when the passenger leans on the side of the seat, wasnt working right, i resetted the SRS, i check the sensor on the seat, and everything is fine now.
