I browsed yahoo answers when I saw SRS light on my 2001 Honda Civic. Got ton of clues about the whole airbag SRS system, DTC, warranty coverage, dealer vs monNpop.

The SRS light came on and stayed even while driving and thats not a good sign. Was not sure to take it to the Honda dealer because of their expensive bills. But then I read about it as a common problem of Hondas. Googled a bit and found Honda Service Bulletin 02-034
http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=119&d=1065031039

Got a little anxious about knowing the SRS code before resetting it myself. Took it to dealer. He said $115 just to get me the code and if it is under warranty then get it fixed FREE.

Took the chance. The DTC code came as 04-01 DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLE.
Guess what…this too was covered under warranty and got it fixed FREE.

Thought of sharing with all the ppl worried about their SRS light. So the advice is if you happen to get SRS light, get smart, explore a little and make the smart move. Its not a good idea to drive on SRS light for long.
There is a very good article on resetting the SRS light at home if you are sure why its ON in the first place.
Firestone was ready to check the DTC code for $99 but not sure if they can execute the warrantee like dealers.

Cheers!

 We have had many customers complain about their airbag light coming on after the cars carpet was washed. So why is this happening?

There are several reasons why a day at the car wash can cost you big bucks. Car manufacturers are still installing several key components underneath the cars rug and front seats. For example, there are many vehicles that have the airbag module located under the left or right front seat. Now I am sorry, but the engineer who decided this does not have any kids. Raise your hand if your kids have accidently spilled a soda on the carpet of your car and how many of you immediately stop and cleaned up the mess. Of course not, your in a hurry to get the kids to little league game. Anyhow, by now you have guest it, the soda has run underneath the seat and the acid in the drink has penatrated the wiring harness or the connector of your airbag module and after a few days, the airbag light on your dash comes on. It amazes me why, even today, manufacturers are still installing key components of the airbag system underneath the rug or front seats.

Another reason the airbag light turned on could have to do with your seat belts. Who would have known that your seat belts are directly linked to your airbag system? Well the truth of the matter is that not to many people are aware of seat belt pretensioners. Seat belt pretensioners are loaded with gas and act just like airbags. They are designed to keep  you back in your seat so the airbags don’t use you as a punching bag. Therefore, they are linked to your airbag module and by now I think your getting the message, the wires from the seat belt run underneath the seats and attach to the airbag module. So as this article began, if you shampoo the rug of your car be very carfull not to overdue the water. It is better to use the foam based shampoo’s and stay away from under the seats. So in conclusion, if the airbag light on the dash is on it could mean that you have a serious issue with the airbags and that twenty dollar rug shampoo could have been the cause of it.

Airbag Battery Backup Depleted

A common problem that signals an airbag warning light to turn on or flash, is that your cars battery might have drained recently and the airbag battery backup depleted. This will often correct itself once the battery charge is fully restored. However, depending on your vehicle, you may need a Scan-tool to remove the soft-code error that was written to the airbag control module. See Airbag Light Reset…

Airbag Clock Spring Needs Replacing

The airbag clock springs main function is to maintain continuity with the drivers airbag and the electrical wiring. It maintains continuity by coiling in and out as the steering wheel turns. After many years of use the thin circuit bands my become brittle or worn and cause the drivers airbag to have an intermittent connection. If this occurs a DTC or Soft-Code will be reported to the airbag control module and the airbag warning light will turn on or flash. This is a popular problem on older model vehicles. The only way to determine if your clock-spring is damaged is to have a repair shop diagnose your airbag warning light with a scan-tool. The scan-tool will provide the technician with a DTC code and advise him if the the clock-spring needs replacement.

Airbag Module Got Wet or Corroded

A common location for the airbag module in many vehicles is underneath the driver or passenger seat. Therefore, even in light water damaged vehicles the module will short-out or corrode after being exposed to moisture. A shorted module will immediately general a DTC airbag code and your airbag light will flash a warning. Water damaged modules should be replaced as they will often produce unexplained and continued errors. You can contact us for pricing and availability on a replacement module.
