If the SIR/airbag light is on your SIR system is not working right and in case of a accident the air bags may not work.
If you bought it from a dealer or used car lot it was bad at the time you bought it.
Also it may not pass a saftey inspection.
Take it back and see if they will fix it on there dime.

No no no your car is functioning perfectly fine. I was having the same thing with my car 00 Acura TL which is basically an accord but an acura so I looked in my maunel. It basically explains that if that light comes on the car has shut down the side passenger air bag because something blocking it or for some reason but look in your manuel that light means its doing what its supposed to do.

To know if you have a problem, pay attention to if the light comes on with the seat absolutely empty. If the side airbag light off light comes on in that circumstance then take it in.

It's known for the SRS light to illuminate on high mileage accords.

My '02 Accord had a recall for the switch for the side airbag light. Mine goes on if there is weight on the seat and no weight on the back, as if a child were seated. Also happens with a couple pizzas
