Well, yes and no. I had the SRS in my '02 EX-V6 Accord light on for months now and finally got annoyed with looking at it. Took it to my dealership and paid the $90 ante for them to look at it. got a 9-3 code "Left front seat belt tensioner faulty". They want $200 to fix it. I reminded them about the lifetime seat belt warranty and they pointed out that it is a LIMITED warranty and that this part is not covered. I went home and called Honda America and she said that certain errors of the SRS system are covered by the extended warranty but the seat belt tensioner is not one of them. Also, she told me that the part is not part of the seat belt warranty and that "a lot of people are confused by this." Well no sh#$. It seems like a known problem and it just happens to be a part not under the warranty. nice. But there was also a thread posted from a 2000 Accord owner who did get it fixed free so I guess it's just a matter of getting lucky at the dealership. I however, get to pay $200 to fix a known issue.
