Hi

I reset the SRS light on my 01 Civic using the paper clip method to the yellow plug under the dash.
Seconds later the light comes back on and stays on.
The SRS did not blink then, or when the key is turned, b4 ignition.

Would that imply 1-1 from the DTC list i came across?

nope. You have to jump pins 4 and 9 on the obd port to read codes

follow this thread (and the linked thread) to figure out what's making your srs light illuminate

I'm willing to bet it's driver side seatbelt.

but code readers are getting quite cheap to not to use them, or to stop at an auto parts shop and ask to have the codes being read. If you choose to buy one, be sure that it will read SRS codes.

Thanks,

Is this the correct approach:
Car off,
Jump pins 4 & 9 as shown in the diagram,
Car put into on position, b4 ignition start.
Blinking SRS would appear giving me the error code?

I called one of the shops, they only read ODB2

2001 is OBDII
OBD 1 is up to 1995
(at the least, in US - where is the car from?)

You are 100% correct.
9-3 Drivers Side Seatbelt Buckle Switch

I read people paid hundreds at the dealer, $400 was the latest thread i read which i can't justify paying.

Thoughts on purchasing a new seatbelt buckle and installing myself? Seems fairly easy.

OBD2 only refers to On Board Diagnostics for the powertrain (engine and transmissions)

SRS has nothing to do with OBD2, other than its electronically accessed with a scanner via the same data link connector (OBD2 diagnostic port).

Many low cost consumer grade code readers and scanners are available that are capable of reading codes from systems like SRS and ABS.

Hell, I just got a batch of Harbor Freight coupons in my email advertising some new scanner they carry that does all 3 of those.



Buckle replacement, easy IMO. Usually have to get the seat off the floor, but it's not hard.

Ebay. Maybe $50. One bolt holds it in place and one electrical connector.

$45 shipped for a black one. Saw a grey one for the same price

Would this be covered under the lifetime seatbelt warranty?


My 03 ACURA EL got this code 5 years ago and the dealer paid for the part and I paid the labour. We don't have the lifetime warranty in Canada.

Hey, I have same issue in my honda civic 02. Sometimes it's hard to push the metal buckle into the base. I have to try a few time to make it work.

I am curious which part you purchase. if you have a link to ebay that will be ideal

thank you!

In the USA
A mechanical fault with the buckle (the part attached to the seat) it should be covered under Hondas eternal seat belt warranty. As long as the buckle won't click and lock the seat belt securely a dealer will probably take care of it at no cost to you.


See your owners manual and original warranty info for more details
