To me, it appears that dealers disagree on whether the repair is
covered under warranty.
I do not agree that this is black-and-white. I do agree Honda owners
in the U.S. should call Honda (the manufacturer, not the dealer) when
they think something should be covered under warranty but one's local
dealer is refusing to do so.

The problem as you describe has to do with the seat belt buckle
(reporting), not the seat belt retractor/tensioner.
There are 2 inputs to the SRS unit that involve reference voltages. With
the key on, the SRS unit expects to see one voltage high, one voltage low.
If the voltages are both the same, high or low, the srs unit sees it as a
fault.
This problem could be due to damaged wiring or the switch(s) in the buckle
are inoperative. Beverages spilled into the buckle mechanism can cause
the switches to malfunction.
Call Honda Customer Relations and ask if it's covered, worse they can say
is no.

(See edits below, made after Tom P pointed out it is not the tensioner
and so I realized I had made a post-o.)
Most likely it is the buckle. Google for reading the code yourself on
your Accord. It should be like the following, but maybe not exactly,
so please check with other sources.

My 2003 Civic had the SRS light on. I read the code myself. It turned
out to be [edit: Code 9-3, the seat belt buckle switch]. Most, but it
seems not all, dealers cover this in the U.S. under the lifetime seat
belt warranty on all Hondas. (Apparently some dealers argue the part
does not involve seat belt integrity, and so it is not warrant-able.
Yet other dealers say the whole belt buckle must be replaced to
correct the failed airbag switch problem, so it is warrantable.)
At the site above, I also describe the good experience I had with my
dealer on this.
If Autozone reads the codes, then yes, its reader should say whether
it is the seat belt [edit: buckle switch].

The light is stuck on and will not reset. I jumpered the plug to cause
it to show the error code (blinks) and it says "Internal SRS unit failure".
Any odds that this is anything _but_ a failed SRS unit?
