Default SRS Light 6-1 Internal Failure of the SRS unit

I have a 2005 Honda Accord EX V6. Can someone please explain the SRS Light 6-1 code Internal Failure of the SRS unit. It comes on intermittently and not with any other warning lights on the dash. What exactly does this mean and how do I fix it.

How was this code retrieve? On the later Accords, they had different codes than the earlier Accords and also differed slightly depending on who made the SRS unit (e.g., TRW or Denso).

It might be code 61-1x ("x" can be 0 thru 9 or A thru F); open in driver's seat belt buckle switch.

I put jumper wire on the obtII sensor and read the blinks of the SRS warning light. I'm not sure where the SRS unit is located to see who the manufacturer is.

The SRS unit is behind the center console. You may not not need to see who the manufacturer is for now.

From the info. I have, I don't see a SRS code 6-1 for your year Accord. Maybe you can go to Autozone or Aamco to get the code read for no charge. I am not sure whether the code reader/scanner they have can read the SRS codes.

Advance, Autozone, Pepboys, etc all do not read the SRS codes. That is why I went with the jumper. Thats strange that the jumper worked but the code it gave me isn't in your service manual. Hmm.

It may be code 61-1X. If it is the seat belt buckle switch, you may possibly be able to get Honda to replace for no charge, due to their lifetime warranty on the seat belt.
