What is SRS light on 1997 Honda Accord?

SRS light stands for Supplemental Restraint System light. It appears on your dashboard when there is a problem with your car’s Occupant Restraint System. This system has been a part of vehicles since 1987. The Occupant Restraint System controls features such as:

- airbags

- child restraint systems

- seat belts

There are many sensors throughout your Honda that monitor the SRS system. If one of the sensors detects an error or failure in the system, it will send a signal to the PCM (Powertrain Control Module). The PCM will then turn on the SRS light.

The SRS light is designed to alert you to a potential problem with your car’s safety restraints. If the light is on, it is essential to have the system diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may be at risk for injury in a car accident.

Here are some of the most common causes of the SRS light:

- Faulty airbag sensor

- Loose or disconnected wiring

- Faulty SRS control module

- Damaged airbag

- Faulty seat belt buckle switch

If you see the SRS light on your dashboard, it is important to have your car diagnosed by a certified mechanic as soon as possible.
