No, that means that there's something wrong with your Airbag system...that or there's just a glitch in your comp...either way I would take it by the dealer and have it checked out....

dude the srs light means that that there is a malfunction in the airbag system. it even can be a false alarm, and sometimes triggered by the idiglo gauges. also the airbags are not something to mess with. have it checked by a HONDA DEALER. i never heard of airbags blowing in your face if the light was on. usually the light is associated with the inability of the airbag to deploy.

this doesnt seem to make any sense but, my manual says that when the SRS light comes on it could mean either it is working properly or there is a malfunction. i have a 98...u have a 97...same gen. i would look at the maual. there is a section that talks about this whole thing. u might not have a problem at all. i know that sounds retarded....but thats what it says!!!

LOL...I'm sure if you re-read your manual it will say that it should come on and go off within a couple of seconds after starting the car...this is the system performing a "self-check" on itself. If it comes on and goes off within a couple of seconds, everything should be good. It is comes on and stays on, then that means there's a problem...
