Default 2004 Honda Accord AIR BAG light going on & off !!!

So here is what happened ....

I have a 2004 Honda Accord V6 EX. A couple of months back, I got into a minor front end accident. There wasn't anything serious, and the air bags did not go off! All I had to do is replaced the front bumper.

Recently, I started noticing the air bag light(SRS) blinking when I turn on my car, then stays on... When I turn my engine off and back on, the light blinks again and then disappears.
Sometimes it just turns on out of nowhere when I am driving.

I am not sure if there is some kind of sensor that is located at the front end that needs to be changed. If there is one... where is it located, and how can I change it??
Also, How can I reset it, if that would fix it?

Thank you

Suggest two things.

Get the codes for the SRS checked.

Look into gettting a service manual for the car.

Sounds like "A" sensor, the codes should answer that and confirm which one. If so, the manual will give the proper procedure for replacing it, wouldn't want to set off the air bags.

There is a front impact sensor that might be causing the problem. Suggest using following link for possible help in extracting code for your problem.

I don't know that this procedure will work for your car but suspect it will.

You can get a download emanual on ebay from seller automanualsource for $21.99 that will have all the diagnostics once you know the code.

good luck
