You have somehow put weight or pressure on the passenger seat near the sensor. My 10 year old trips the light all the time squirming in the seat. Sometimes, when carrying heavy stuff in the seat, the light will come on.

If nothing is pressing on the seat near the sensor, something may have knocked the wires loose underneath the seat.

To further add to what us wrote, its a sensor designed to disable the sideairbag if you have an object on the seat, or if someone is sitting incorrectly on the seat. Either of the 2 things could cause injury from the airbag if deployed, so the sensors prevent that from happening.

If nothing is on the seat when you see this, then you may need to get your system checked out.

If you also get a prob with the SRS light, call Acura at 1-800-382-2238 x 5
there is an extended warranty for many of us on the system- to 150 k miles
