welcome to the forum

the paper clip is to reset a false srs code if you removed seat wires with battery connected

for the multi codes you got that turned on all the lights:
go to a parts store and ask for a code reading- its free (except Ca)
codes are CLUES not cures or diagnosis inthemself, so report whatever they find back here
Example multi cyl misfire codes = 1 bad coil

what did you do right before all the lights,,a burnout in the rain or sudden stop with abs operating?

whats the current car miles?
after you get the codes and do a repair, reset the ECU by removing the CLOCK fuse on passenger end of dash or kick panel for 1 minute, then reinsert
its the secret backup power to ecu and forces a full reset/clears codes and relearn

Example multi cyl misfire codes = 1 bad coil closest place it's dealer that can scan it but they want 50$ to scan it I hoped I wouldn't have to go there.

Snow on the ground it lost traction for a minute. But the lights came on as usual for a sec. Lost traction again then the lights all came on and stayed. Runs fine still have abs and no funny sounds or shuddering.
whats the current car miles? 145,700

ok those conditions can trigger false codes

Go ahead and reset the ecu by pulling clock fuse as instructed above
See if lights come back on after normal driving for a few weeks

don't need dealer on this!
you seriously don't have a name brand parts store closer than 50 miles! must be nice~

if using quote system= please put your answer on a separate line so its easy to find and read

Side Airbag light- see owner manual for full operation of system
free download at Acura Owners Site | Exclusive Knowledge, Service, & Benefits (usa cars)

Basically passenger seat has sensors looking for weight of passenger, and shift in weight indicating passenger is leaned forward or seat is leaned way back =
in which case the side airbag is disabled so as not to injure passenger in airbag deployment up the side of their seat
can break a neck easily

If carrying anything at all in pass seat, or buddy is doing movement when light comes on = that's your answer
