They told me $100 to diagnose the SRS light issue. They immediately said that the SRS was not related to the inflator recall. I mentioned that SRS light stays on all the time - and that I was aware of issue with seat belt buckle/recall. Took vehicle to local Honda dealer to have driver's side airbag inflator replaced under recall. Also make sure your 2001 Accord has been checked for the airbag recall: excessive pressure may cause metal fragments during airbag deployment. This sensor is covered under Honda's lifetime seat belt warranty, but some dealers charge a $100+ "diagnostic fee" or tell customers the entire SRS unit ($800) is bad. The SRS warning light likes to come on due to a defective seat belt sensor - typically the driver's side. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000. Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Honda eventually extended the transmission warranty to 93 months/109k miles for the 2000-2001 Accords as settlement for a class action lawsuit, but that period is over & owners of Accords with transmission problems are out of luck. Transmission failure problems have been a huge problem for Honda Accords & other models all through the early 2000s model years. The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 100,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000. We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague. Notes: The 2001 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, & problems with the airbag system (SRS).
