Taking off the grill should have noting to do with it. Did you disconnect any thing in the car last night?

Bring it to the dealer. It may be a srs problem (especially if you have warranty) with that light on NONE of your airbags will work in an accident.

This is what warranty is for- they take care of it- no charge!!
AND when possible, they put you in a loaner car- a brand new type.... loaner car

In my Opinion
while its possible to reset the SRS warning light- those cars covered by the extended SRS warranty of 10 year/150,000 miles=== should get it looked at by the dealer.
Just the special warranty extension makes me believe its an important thing!!
Even salvage title cars can qualify for the fix!!!

Free parts now, and a loaner car for the day-- are better than a false sense of functioning airbags later~
call acura 1-800-382-2238 x5. Tell them you would like to register as the owner and check any recalls open, or extended warranties you need to know about?
Some cars get a free timing belt and pully, some get a new wiper motor, you never know unless you ask Acura!

the dealer maintains the right to charge you for its time and repairs, IF the problem found was not the covered parts on warranty
There are only 1 or 2 things not covered that can fail- in any case its better to have working airbags!
It happens in rare cases that you get charged a diagnosis fee- but does happen.
This is when your meeting the service manager beforehand,, is a good idea!!

Call acura 1-800-382-2238 x5 and ask if salvage title car still covered on SRS warranty
Because its a safety item- they honor it, but not a trans warranty!!
