2004 Honda Accord EX SRS/Air Bag Warning Light Always On

135th near Quivira, Overland Park KS

Description

Honda Accord has air bag warning light that stays on. Honda of Olathe says its fault code 86-16 for "Faulty OPDS Seat-Back Sensor" OEM 81127-SDA-A51. However, my research indicates there may be easier, faster solutions to include checking connections underneath both the driver's and passenger's seats, which I've done. There are several YouTube videos that demonstrate possible quick fixes, too. One video that rec'd 923 "Likes" and several comments that it solved the problem (SRS light no longer on). The technician jumped the SRS reset module (located under dash on driver's side and just above the fuse box) with a plastic seat control connector with two wires twisted together (see photos). I have posted images from this possible solution to ensuring the air bag light stays off...at least temporarily. I would like someone to come to my house and attempt this solution and, potentially (if that doesn't work), to unfasten the driver's seat and double check the plug, connection and other wiring for faults. The car is available anytime 24/7 for service and located in my garage by 135th & Quivira. Thank you. Lenny
