The SRS light is lit on the dashboard of my 2000 honda accord ex. I took the car to my local dealer where they told me it would be $84 for a diagnostic of the problem. The dealer then called to tell me that the opds sensor is not working and it would need to be replaced. While the car was at the dealer, I got on the internet and researched the SRS light on accords. I found out there is a service bulletin, dated april 23, 2004, issued by honda for all 2000 2-door accords (as well as many other models) declaring the SRS indicator comes on with SRS dtc 15-1, 15-2, 15-3 , and probable cause is a faulty occupant position detection system (opds) unit. With that said, both the dealer and american honda motor co., are aware of the service bulletin, and the faulty parts they sold in their automobiles and neither are willing to replace the opds sensor.
Dt: the contact stated the air bags did not deploy when the vehicle crashed while traveling at 5 MPH. The consumers foot slipped off the gas pedal and hit another vehicle. The contact sustained minor head and neck injuries. Upon impact, neither of the air bags deployed. He has not contacted the manufacturer. The vehicle has been repaired, and is now drivable. A police report was taken. *ak updated 11/29/05.
The SRS light came on for no reason ,the failure was intermittent failure of SRS unit, what was done , honda ran a system diagnosis and couldn't find problem, they cleared code for 98.00 dollars.
Srs light is on again, see odi number 10121769 this is the fourth time it has come on see prior complaints.
Dt:the contact complained about the air bag sensor. The air bag sensor indicator light (SRS) came on intermittently. The light came on every time the car was driven. The opds switch short circuited. The warranty on the switch was for only 36 months or 36,000 miles. The switch had not been repaired.*ak updated 11/29/2005 - the consumer also had problems with the seat belts since the vehicle was purchased. This problem was brought to the attention of the dealer but they claimed there was no problem.
I purchased a honda accord coupe in july 2000. Exactly 2 years to the day that I received the car, I brought it to the dealer because the SRS light on the dashboard came on while I was driving and stayed on. The dealer cleared a diagnostic code. 10 days later I brought it back for the same problem and they replaced the opds unit. Everything was ok for 2 years. In november 2004 I brought it to the dealer for the same problem. The dealer checked the codes and found none. In august 2005 again back to the dealer for the same problem.. They replaced the passenger's seat belt buckle, with in 2 days the SRS light came back on. It has been off and on since (as of 10/28/05)
Consumer's vehicle was hit on the front left fender at about 15 MPH. Upon impact, the air bags did not deploy.*ak
Dt: after changing the battery the SRS light illuminated about a year and a half ago. The consumer went to a dealer, and the dealer reset the system for the SRS air bags. This corrected the problem for the time being. Afterwards, the light illuminated again. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer, and the dealer noted this was an electronic interference or an issue with occupancy for the SRS. The consumer paid for the reset both on incidents. Now, the dealer said the opds occupant position detection sensor would need to be replaced. The consumer has not replaced this because he felt honda should be responsible. No other repairs or corrections at this time. The dealer also indicated it would be senseless to reset the SRS since the repair have not been performed.
Consumer honda accord SRS light came on and remained on. *ts ***nar received 10-12-05*** the consumer stated when he placed his cell phone on the seat, that is when the SRS light illuminated. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer where they cleared the code, however the light illuminated again. The consumer was told the position detection sensor needed to be replaced again.
(1) 2000 honda accord was t-boned on drivers side of car. My car was traveling at 40-45 MPH when the impact occured. The other vehicle was traveling at a higher speed than mine at time of impact (2) the failure was the side air bag did not inflate. The center post of the car was jammed into the driver seat and then into my shoulder. (3) honda dealer in iowa where car is being repaired was not concerned that air bag did not infate.
I have 2000 honda accord lx (auto) and I have a problem with my air bag system. My SRS light turned on, however I can't recall when it started but it is safe to say that it's started a couple years back. But any ways, I have had my SRS system looked at and reset several times and the SRS light just keeps coming back on. I believe there is defect with the SRS system because several of my friend and colleagues at work have had the same problem. Can the federal safety agency please look into this problem. Thank you.
Illuminated SRS light. Honda replaced sensor in july 2002; however had several instances where SRS light is illuminated since sensor replacement. The local dealership would reset system; however charged fee to test system. The local dealership also mentioned to not put anything in passenger seat to avoid light from coming on. Passenger seat is rarely occupied. Since extended warranty has expired, SRS light is illuminated once again.

Dt: 2000 honda accord. The SRS (safety restraint system) light came on and stayed on. The consumer contacted dealership, and they said it was probably a switch that was under a recall. The light told them it something to do with the electrical system. Contacted my manufacturer, they said that vehicle was not recalled. Srs light has been coming on for about a month and a half. Consumer was concerned about his family's safety.
Dt:the contact stated the passenger's side front air bag deployed without a collision while the consumer was driving a t40-50 MPH. She did not hit anything. She was on a paved road and did not go over any big bumps in the road. The SRS light was coming on and going off intermittently a couple of weeks prior to this happening. No one was hurt. The dealer gave her an estimate of $2,000.00 to put it back the air bag back in. She contacted honda and they decided there was nothing wrong with the air bag. *ak
Srs warning light on 2000 honda accord ex v6 keeps on activating. I have sent my car to a local auto repair shop to have the car diagnosed on august 30, 2005. The mechanic, who is a master diagnostic technician and manager of the repair shop informed me he did not detect anything wrong, but a false alarm. He reset the SRS system. Again, the SRS warning light came back on 2 days later and brought back my car to have the SRS warning light reset on september 2, 2005. I found an article on the web indicating the honda accord having problems with the SRS warning light. Http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2005/08/17/140535.html.
The SRS indicator light came on at 74,000 miles. From reading through the complaints, it seems this is a common problem with 2000 honda accords. It also seems that people have spent a lot of money to "try" to correct this problem, but with little success. Now I have to decide between spending a lot of money, possibly to no avail, or driving an unsafe car with no airbags. Please investigate asap and issue a recall, if needed, before someone dies.
My SRS light on my 2000 honda accord has come on and it means my airbags arent working. I brought it in to a dealership and they gave me some bs about electonic interference. They didnt give me a permanent fix and im nervous that my airbags might not work. Honda doesnt have a permanent solution for getting the SRS light fixed! Why do I have to pay for fixing a safety issue that clearly is honda's defective airbags?
Same problem as described in investigation #pe05043. The red SRS warning light stuck on in my 2000 honda accord exv6 recently. It is after the warranty expired. There are two lights related to airbag in the car, one red, one orange "side airbag off". The orange light comes on and off depends on whether there is a light object on the passenger seat or not. The red light indicates problems and does not goes off even there is nothing on the front passenger seat. It is the first time we saw the red light stuck on in the past 5 years since we bought the car new. From searching the internet, we know the problem is common, and can be recurring. Honda has the obligation to fix the design, and recall the cars. Please help us! Let me know if you need further info regarding my car.
In sept. 2003 the SRS warning light came on. After contacting the dealer who said the unit "fails test" we were informed this might involve replacement parts which would not be under warranty. Since this was a 2000 honda accord ex with only 49000 miles I felt this was an unwarranted repair. American honda agreed to cover the repair. The SRS control unit was replaced on 10/3/03. On 10/8/03 we brought the car back to the dealer because the SRS light had come back on. This time the dealer said we needed a new seat buckle. This was replaced on 10/22/03. In (approximately) july 2005 the SRS light came on again. We contacted our auto repair shop and were told we would probably have to replace the unit again. This does not seem normal to have such a part fail so often. Also, the side airbag light would often come on, if a purse or bag was on our side next to the door. To date we have not brought the car in to be repaired again but are concerned that we don't know if the airbags will deploy in an accident.
I bought my 2000 honda accord brand new, off the lot. Two months after purchasing it, my SRS light went on. I called the salesperson who assured me that it was just a dashboard defect in that make and model -- nothing to worry about. At least once each year since, I've had to pay over $100 because the light came on again and the problem had to be re-diagnosed before the light was shut off. I've grown so used to having the light on and it just being a dashboard nuisance, I've come to ignore it. That was until this morning, when a honda service person informed me that when it is on -- simple defect or not -- the airbags will not release during an accident. What if, based on the information -- or lack of information I've been given in the last five years -- I had an accident and no air bags deployed? How many other people are in this situation? A lot from the looks of the complaints filed on this site, along with complaints on the SRS issue posted on the internet overall. If it was simply a dashboard malfunction -- as it has been positioned to me in the past -- that would be one thing. But, when I called honda's 800 number to confirm what the service rep told me and learned that he is correct -- the airbags will not deploy if that light is on...it is not just a simple dashboard issue...I want to make sure others know.
Srs warning light always on.
Car: 2000 honda accord 2dr v6 problem: SRS light after numerous computer resets, SRS light manages to come back on. After taking to dealer, was told on various occasions that it was due to faulty seat-belt sensor. Honda did not service due to out-of-warranty, and excessive cost to fix the sensor. Seems to be a manufacturer defect due to the nature of failure.
Dt: the tranmission will shift gears very losely and makes a clunking sound but only when it is in reverse. Now it shifts slugishly. Took dealer to the dealer twice and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. Now they think it is the motor mounts. The first time this happened was in october of 2002. *ak dash board lighting goes blank. A faulty multiflex light unit was found. Front brakes worn. Check engine light was on. Found faulty egr valve assembly and replaced. Srs light is on. Faulty opds unit was found.
Srs light comes on for no reason. The dealer resets the light and it will come back a few days later. This is differant than the passenger light.
Air bag warning light on 2000 honda accord with 55,000 miles (out of warranty) due to alleged defective passenger seat sensor. Same scenario as your recently opened defect investigation for this problem (august 12, 2005). Spent close to $400 for replacement of sensor.
After multiple resets, my SRS light has been on for about 6 months.
While simply driving, the SRS light on the dash turned on for my 2000 honda accord v6. It appears that many people receive the SRS light in their hondas, yet few ever go get them fixed. The light has been fixed by the dealer for a whopping ~$400! This is absolutely outrageous. No wonder the people I know that has the SRS light don't want to get it fixed. This is a safety hazard for the driver and should be fixed for free! There were no injuries or and crashes in my case, but if there was to be a good sized accident, the airbags will not deploy. The dealer, I believe, replaced the entire driver's seat and the SRS sensor. Please, this has been a frequent problem with hondas - that the SRS light would spontaneously light up. This problem has to be addressed as this is a serious safety hazard.
