Honda Accord: How the SRS Indicator Works

The SRS indicator alerts you to a potential problem with your airbag system components.
When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, this indicator comes on briefly then goes off. This tells you the system is working properly.
If the indicator comes on at any other time, or does not come on at all, you should have the system checked by your dealer. For example:
If the SRS indicator does not come on after you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
If the indicator stays on after the engine starts.
If the indicator comes on or flashes on and off while you drive.
If you see any of these indications, the airbag system components may not work properly when you need them.

Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS indicator alerts you to a possible problem.
