Here's a quick check list for most common cost of SRS / Air bag problem.

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger seat belt buckles

Dirty contacts on seat belt connectors (under seats)

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger sides weight sensors (under seat)

Seat covers

Weight on passenger seat
(Example: grocery package trigger SRS / Air Bag light on the way home.)

I recommend you to pass an vacuum over the contacts and use CRC electronic parts cleaner to rule out connectivity problem.

I DO NOT recommend disconnecting the negative battery connector to clean the code(s).

Without the code(s) the dealer will takes "BILLABLE" time to reproduce the problem.

I installed an aftermarket cd player in my 2002 accord, why is my SRS light on?

Have you checked all the relevant fuses for the SRS system? That would be a good place to start. Accidentally shorting out a circuit while checking for power during the install could have blown a fuse.
Did you buy a plug and play wiring kit for this install? If you did, I would try unplugging it and disconnecting a battery cable for 10 minutes. Reconnect the cable and see if the issue is still present.
If you hard-wired the unit in yourself, I would double check the wiring to make sure you haven't tapped into a wire in the SRS system, which could trigger a code.

Srs lamp is lightning

The service reminder is supposed to be cleared when you service the car. If your car is almost due service it and clear the service reminder. The light will go.

SRS light stays on

Problem with the SRS. Not a DIY repair. Take it to a professional. Working with the SRS, is very dangerous, so do not attempt this repair.

SRS light on

SRS is the air bag light, they randomly come on for no reason at all, I wish I could give you a solution but the only one is to get it put on a code machine and have them turn it off, the thing is it will most likely come back on down the road. Hate these lights on modern cars its just another thing to pay for when they go wrong.

Trouble light

Hi. There,
ON your honda accord.
the Srs light come when the computer detect a problem with the system, but never go off until you fix the problem and reset the computer,
When the light is on, yhe SRS or air bags are deactivated if you have an accident the air bags don't will deploy and you don't gonna be protected.
Check when the light come on or if you have idea why com on.

If you know a little of cars or mechanic work.
You can read the codes on your car, using Self diagnostic yellow connector behind the instrument panel fuse box. reading the blinking of the SRS light.

If you can do letme know i can give the step to do...

I hope this information will good for you.

Thanks for using fixya.
