The SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) is the airbag system in your car. You do not want to turn off the light - you want to find out WHY the light is on. Once you have determined why the light is on, then you can proceed to have the light turned off. If the SRS light is on, your airbags will not work and if you're in an accident, you're in big trouble. Turning the light off will not necessarily make the airbags work again. That said, there are a few common things that can cause the SRS light to come on that do not indicate SRS failure. One is battery failure or the battery being disconnected for more than 15 or 20 minutes. Another is a computer glitch. In either of those cases, it is safe to have the light simply "turned off" and go on your merry way. However if there is a SRS "system problem" then the light will simply come back on again, and then you will know that there is a more serious problem with your airbag system. The way to turn off your SRS warning light is with a ODBII reader. NOTE: Not all ODBII readers will turn off SRS codes (and that's a good thing.) Generally it is wise to take your Honda to a reputable mechanic (notice I didn't say 'dealer') who should be able to test your SRS system and turn off the light if nothing is wrong. My SRS light came on in my Odyssey about 6 months ago and I own a ODBII reader that will turn off the light, but I still took my van to a mechanic that works on SRS systems. He determined that nothing was wrong and reset the computer for me for $45. It was well worth the money. Dealers will cost a LOT more and often go on "parts changing sprees" with your money. Still, if your dealer has been fair with you in the past, by all means take your Honda there and get it checked. This isn't something you want to mess around with yourself for a number of very good reasons - your life the the lives of your passengers being major ones.

This works for a 2000 Honda Odyssey - it may also work for a 2002...try it.Of course you are free to have the service performed anywhere you like. It is not required that the services be performed at the dealer. As for the Maintenance Required Light, you, or your mechanic, can reset it. Here's how to reset the light:Turn off the engine.Press and hold the select/reset button in the instrument panel, then turn the ignition switch ON (Position II).Hold the button for at least 10 seconds, until the indicator resets.That's all there is to it.
