Car Forum / Honda Cars / February 2006Honda SRS light
Hello, I am having Honda Civic 2001, I noticed that SRS light is ON since three days. It's a second time that light started apperaing on dashboard. Last time I got the same problem, I called the Honda Dealer and they said it costs $135 for diagnosis and they will give estimate how much cost more. Meanwhile I checked with one of local Honda certified repairer and he said he can reset the light for $40. He also said, I will reset the light and if the light not appears again in next few days, you are fine otherwise you should take the car to the dealer. I agreed and he reset the light. This all happend on Oct 2005. After 5 months agin light ON. Any advice? One more thing, my two yrs son always throw papers and toys under seats? This would be the cause? What are your advice, I need to see the dealer now? Waiting for experts comments. Thanks CKR The only way to tell what the problem is is to have the codes read from the computer. There are sensors all over the card that could cause it. Yes throwing things under the seat could brake wires and push plugs apart. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Thanks > CKR "ckr" <chakrat@hotmail.com> wrote in news:1140728183.683845.90350 @j33g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Thanks > CKR I'd probably get someone to read the code and find out what the SRS system's thinking. It's not unheard of for people to have the airbags go off in their faces while driving down the road. If you're driving along at 60 mph, and the bag does off, you're likely to crash. $135 sounds pretty cheap to me for peace of mind. I worked on a court case once where an air bag went off and caused a crash. The crash killed the driver. Air bags are two explosive devices placed close to your body. You don't want them going off unless you need them. I've worked on my own airbags and it scares me to be close to them. I followed the procedures in the manual to the letter. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > Thanks > CKR See if this helps > http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html Look under General Information > How to reset the SRS light. All experts!, Thanks for your valuable comments. I will take car to Honda dealer and let them troubleshoot this symptom. I will update you after hear from them. Thanks again for Woody, Dufus and Stan for quick responses. CKR Here is the update: Honda team did the diagnosis on SRS system and found the cause. SRS light was ON due to problem with driver's seat belt. SRS system doesn't recognizing that driver's seat belt. Honda intially estimated $125 for diagnosis. But they did totally free and replaced the seat belt. Seat belts are on life time warranty. Thanks to all for your responses. CKR
