Mine came on and stayed on at 64K; dealer replaced a faulty sensor for free (good-will). Take it in.

SRS Light

Make sure they try and reset the system before anything else and see if it comes back on.

I had this problem and they stuck me with a 400 bill for a new computer. Guess what - a week later it came on again and this time I told them to reset the system. They did and it stayed off. Mechanic told me the car probably never needed a new computer in the first place.

Hi,
Let me share my story: I just got SRS light turn on last friday. Today, I bring the car to the dealer (Tustin Acura) and they said that my sensor at the passenger seat is faulty and need to replace. They told me that they need to add more foam under the seat and replace the sensor. It will take approximate a day to finish the job so I got a TSX loaner. Nice car and beautiful dashboard, but I still like my TL-S better!
It might be numerous reason for the SRS light turn on, but if you are still under warranty, bring it to the dealer so they can check out and fix it for free.

Take care,
LV
