    O.K., here is the DIY for resetting the memory for your SRS Light. Your SRS Light may trigger and remain illuminated for several reasons. Some of which are:
    Unplugging your gauge cluster
    Unplugging your SRS harness(es) when you remove your seats
    Unplugging any other SRS plugs and turning your ignition on

    This DIY is intended ONLY for resetting your SRS Indicator Light when it is triggered for the reasons listed above. Your SRS Light may indicate a more serious problem that should be evaluated by your local Authorized Honda/Acura Technician. Remember, that airbag may save your life or the life of someone you care about so don't disregard that indicator light unless you are sure that it triggered for some other reason. That being said, here are some pics and instructions for resetting the SRS Light (note: These pics are from a 6th Gen Accord EX Coupe 4AT. The MES plug may be located in a different location on other models. Make sure you know what you are unplugging. There are no contacts inside the port that the MES Plug plugs into.)

    Tools needed:
    Flashlight (if needed to search for MES Plug under dash)
    2 1/2 ft. piece of small gauge speaker wire (insulation stripped off ends)

    (1) Locate MES Plug. It should be located near the driver's side fuse panel under the dash. The harness is yellow with two wires.



    (2) Unplug the MES Plug. It should look like this.




    (3) Insert one end of speaker wire into MES Plug (one wire in each contact)



    (4) Follow this sequence of shorting the other two leads of the speaker wire and turning the ignition to "on" (not accessory, not start)



    -Short and hold the leads while you turn the ignition to on. The SRS Light will illuminate for a few seconds then go off.
    -When the SRS Light goes off, unshort the wires. The SRS Light will come back on.
    -Short and hold the wires again. The SRS Light will go off.
    -When the SRS Light goes off, unshort the wires. The SRS Light will blink twice.
    -Turn the ignition off.
    -Start engine as normal. The SRS Light should illuminate for a couple of seconds as normal and then go off.
    (4a) This series of shorting/unshorting needs to take place within a 4 second window of the SRS Light going on/off each time.

    (5) Sound easy enough? Should take 15 seconds or so for the whole procedure. Good luck.

    Stole this one from superhonda.

    ^ this.
    Its incredibly easy. If it does come back on after you've reset it the right way, then theres a problem with your system

    It came back on because you unplugged that yellow sensor under your seat without disconnecting the battery. It's not anything to worry about, your safety system *I believe* should still work even with the light on, just do the DIY usedep3 posted and you'll be fine.
    Next time, if you don't want to keep having to reset the system then disconnect the battery any time you take your front seats out.

    My friend, who works for Honda, told me that our seat belt buckles are warrantied for life. Get it checked out and if it is the case, it's fixed for free.

    My passenger seat belt buckle was replaced this past summer at no charge.

    My srs lights been on since i bought the car and i tried resetting it but it wont reset. Anyone know what it could be? I havent checked to see if any of the seat wires are disconnected but i will. Does anyone know where all the wires are that will set off the light? Cuz im gna try and visually inspect all the connections and wires. Or if there is a way to tell why the light is on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
