SRS warning light illuminated on my single-owner 2002 Civic LX coupe at approximately 53,100 miles and has remained lit at current mileage of 53,249 for no apparent reason. After reading numerous complaints regarding faulty airbags, seatbelts, and general SRS system failures, I will attempt to have vehicle serviced at Honda dealership using csc-10024565, as it states "the inspection is free of charge, even if there is not a problem with the opds control unit or the opds sensor and your vehicle is within the extended warranty time/mileage period (10 years/150,000 miles)" which it is. From information gathered from other complaints, evidently when the SRS warning light is illuminated, the airbags will not deploy in the event of a collision. After running my VIN on Honda's recall website, www.ahm-ownerlink.com/seo/hondarecall.asp, I discovered my vehicle was not involved in the current airbag inflater recall campaign #Q96, NHTSA #09V259000.

I have a 2002 Honda Civic si version. The SRS light always light up. I have bought my car back to the Honda dealer to have it service a few times. It was just a temporary fix. The light was off for about 3 weeks and then it came on again. I don't have the money and time to keep brining it back to the mechanic where it will turn back on again after a while. As for now, I am driving as is for a long long while. Is this a recall issue that needs to be fix?
