2004 Accord SRS Light

Every once in a while, my airbag light will come on and stay on until the next time I start the car !! Anyone have any ideas on this one ?? This happens maybe 1 out of 50 times that I start the car.

Your vehicle does not require a scan tool for the proper diagnosis. Here's a site that will explain everything you need to know about airbag lights and resetting the system. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing.
Airbagsolutions.com has the fault code charts to tell you what is wrong!

This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting airbag lights. See if your car is listed here. Although it’s a pay site ($14.95/day), it’s a lot cheaper than going to the dealer

On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident.
The flashing light on your car is telling there is a problem. On some vehicles, the light is flashing a two digit code.

Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate systems without a scanner (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) .
Most all other vehicles require a scan tool for the diagnosis.

Thanks Doug, I have checked with the dealership and they say it could possibly be the seatbelt connection, covered under warranty on my car, but they really need it in when the light is on to diagnose the problem. I'll have to wait til the next time it comes on to find out I guess. He said that mine might be covered under a recall.

OK, the dealership diagnosed the problem as the seatbelt latch switch? which is covered under Hondas lifetime warranty on that item. Got it fixed and we will see what happens, but I don't expect any problems.

When an srs light comes on it usually means there is a problem with the airbag system. You can check and reset the light without a scanner. The following site has free video instructions on checking the problem and resetting the light. www.vehix411.com
