DIY: Reset SRS Airbag light (With Video)
Disclaimer:
Reseting SRS light will not always fix the problem.
If problem persists, SRS light will come back on eventually.
To find the source of the problem, run diagnostic.
Most common problem with 7th gen is the seat belt sensor (which is covered under Honda lifetime warranty)
A worse problem would be airbags malfunction
Honda runs diagnostics for $68 dollars and fixes the problem for free if it is a seatbelt problem
Some will even refund diagnostic fee

**Unless you have a salvage.
Very nice DIY. Clean ride too. I had the tan interior in my first 2001 and it had uncleanable stains in the seats and floorboards in about 2 weeks. lol

Hi there,
Great instructions for a reset. They worked perfectly, but I've had to do this several times now.
You mention "To find the source of the problem, run diagnostic."
How do I do that?
Thanks!
