Just found this in the CL forum--SRS Light Problem
This applies to us as well, anyone having SRS light issues. It is a letter stating that the warranty on our OPDS has been extended to 10 years/150,000 miles. I also copy and pasted the letter if there is any trouble with the link, courtesy of Topher.

Alright fellow AZ'ners............
Here is your warranty extension info sent from Acura itself! Enjoy, and let Honda/Acura Inc. pay for your problem!

SRS indicator light Warranty Extension
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DATE: April 5, 2006
TO: All Acura Sales, Service & Parts Managers
FROM: American Honda Service Division
RE: Warranty Extension Announcement
On March 2, 2006, we announced an OPDS (occupant position detection system) warranty extension for certain 200103 3.2CLs, 200102 MDXs, 199903 3.5RLs, selected 2004 RLs, 200204 RSXs, and 200003 3.2TLs.
Some affected vehicles may have a problem with the OPDS that causes the SRS indicator to stay on with one or more SRS DTCs. To ensure continued reliability with the OPDS, affected vehicles have an extended warranty on the OPDS unit and the OPDS sensor. These parts are now covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
Customer Notification
Approximately 480,000 vehicles are affected by this warranty extension. Notifications will start mailing on April 7, 2006, at a rate of 5,000 letters per day, and will span a 60-day period.
Even though the daily mail rate is quite large, it will have little or no impact on your service department because the only vehicles needing inspection and/or possible repair are those returned by clients with the specific complaint of an SRS indicator that wont go off. For detailed repair, VIN, and warranty information, see S/B 06-008, Warranty Extension: OPDS Unit or OPDS Sensor Triggers SRS DTC(s) 15-1, 15-2, 15-3.
Thank you.

My OPDS acts funny. Every day for the past 5 the Side Airbag Off indicator comes on and stays on the entire drive (empty passenger seat).
I'm sure it's just a matter of time, but thankfully it is warranty.

SRS is your car's safety restraint system. If your SRS light is not coming on and staying on, then you do not have a problem. If it is staying on then you need to take it to the dealership and have your SRS system looked at. The OPDS (occupant position detection sensor) sensor that is in the front passenger's seat of your car is bad and has a recall on it. They may not fix it though if your sensor is not bad. Word of warning, do not allow a cell phone to contact that seat as this may set off that light as well. It can cost to get it reset.
