'02-'04 SRS Light Problem

I have a '02 RSX-S and my SRS light came on recently for some odd reason. Hasnt been in an accident or damaged. Airbag hasnt been deployed. I did a search to help answer my question but I couldn't find any. Just for the '05-'06 SRS light and someone selling a SRS unit.

Trying to find out why the light came on pretty much, and also trying to figure out how to reset it since nothing is wrong with it. Might sound like bs but this also happened to a friend of mine with the same car, same year, and almost the same mileage, and popped on around the same time. odd? lol

i've had this problem before...the dealership fixed it free of charge at the time (within warranty also)

Here's a thread documenting how to temporarily fix it. I haven't tried it yet, but a lot of people have with success

From my understanding, it happens when something is left on the passenger seat. For example, a laptop. Or it could happen for apparently no reason

I may just take my car into the dealership just to have them check it out and replace it since i'm selling my car. I don't want any problems with the car to the next owner.

Thanks for all the help. ClubRSX is one of my favorite forums! :thumbsup: Lots of people here willing to help even though there was already a thread about this topic. :thumbsup: Other forums, people would usually just tell others "use the search button" etc etc, which I did, but I suck at looking for stuff :dontknow:

shouldn't be an issue really. First time I went there they wanted to "hold" 90-ish dollars for diagnosis fee, I said no and left. Went back another day and talk to another service rep or whatever, he just took the car in and went to work on it no problem. I actually still need to take the car back because the problem isn't fixed. I may need a new SRS brain unit, whatever it's called. I don't know. but I gotta take it in again. probably call and make an appointment for friday.

i study in mecanik auto ..i got a 2002 rsx-s and the light is on too...But when i check on acura bulletin they is a RACALL on it srs recall they your dealer they hav a recall for srs they should repair for you for free
acura never does recalls, only technical service bulletins. Which basically means they acknowledge the problem but still aren't specifically obligated to do anything about it.
