Probably the sensor in the buckle...honda warrantys beats and buckles for life if they fail on their own...but if its a salvage title you pay out of pocket.

Which code was it? There's more than one. Was it the buckle, or the tensioner?

These might help in the future. They're from the FAQ's

There's been some stories lately of Honda refusing to fix the seat-belt components at their own cost, for various reasons. Usually due to seat swaps and such.

car is all original, never wrecked, seats never been swapped. Guy did nto tell me which/what code it was, only that it was the drivers seat belt latch. Was just going to to try and fix it myself instead of messing with the dealership... while I was trying to fix the other stuff that im still waiting on parts for.

Note the bold word.. you left that out of your original post.

As mentioned by m_shake, contact your local dealership about replacing the seat belt buckle.
