Update - Got the code read and it said faulty driver side seat belt buckle. Over the weekend I replaced it and the SRS light is still on. My next chore is resetting the light and I hope it goes out. 2000 Accord SE 4 door with manual cloth seats.

you should have reset it first to see if it returns to get an accurate diagnosis....
also consider getting a code reader/resetter - they're inexpensive, and in this day and age, pretty much indispensable.
Could you give me an example of this inexpensive item you refer to. Thanks
this is about the cheapest:
feel free to get a better one though!
Thanks for the info

I had an SRS light on my 2003 Civic last Fall. I learned how to read the code and re-set it using tools I made at home for under $10. I do not want to send you to the procedure for reading the code for the Civic, because it is likely different for your Accord. But the ehow procedure for re-setting should be fine. I have seen this re-set procedure reported elsewhere.
You can reset it with a paper clip. See

I had an SRS light and code last autumn on my 2003 Civic. For under $10 I made my own tools for re-setting and reading the code. See

It is a differentconnector for reading codes. Still, do not use the procedure forreading codes on Civics on your Accord. I am only sure the re-setprocedure for Civics and Accords is the same. Reading codes may bedifferent, and you do not want to mess something up.
thanks for the info
I hope you didn't pay for that -- it was covered under warranty.

I'm not sure if that lifetime seat belt warranty exists in Canada, where Clete appears to be located.
The reality of the matter, is that an OBDII Scanner will not read the module that controls the passenger restraint devices.
That's not a correct statement, it is not covered under warranty.
Correction: Reading codes is the same, regardless of which model of Honda it is, as long as the connector is OBD2 yada. All these sites support this.

Not in Canada, but yes in the U.S. most dealers say the seat belt buckle (with the SRS switch) is covered.
