Exclamation SRS light

I took my seats out yesterday to put on seat covers. When I took them out of course I unclipped all the connections under the seat. When I put the seats back in I clipped everything together again, but now my SRS light stays on and I can not get it to go off? What can I do?

that happened to me when i had my speakers installed. in my situation, the guy that did it took the seats out, but turned on the car, which messed up the sensors (and something to do w/the airbags). i had to take it to the honda dealership for them to fix it. it was under warranty and didnt charge me anything.

Thanks, so it is nothing safety related? Like my bags are not going to deploy or some sh*t like that?

didnt happent to me, but i'd get it checked out... is it under warranty? they asked me after it was all done if i had done anything under the seat, and i acted clueless.... then i was like "oh yea...blah blah" and she said well we went ahead and fixed it... just say you didnt know it would cause that. did you turn the car one while u were doing it?

welli had never heard of such a thing before i did it. if they give u a hard time, tell they need to make this known. i dont know how they'd do that, but oh well.

Yeah it is kinda weird that even though you plug everything back in it would still throw that code. Do you have any idea what they did? I have heard that you can unhook the negative cable on the battery and get it to reset? Thanks

Go check out the DIY. This happened to me and was able to fix it myself. Its not hard at all. I used the paperclip method and got it on the first try.

just diconnecting the battery wont work . tried it when i put in my new seats. there is a diy on here somewhere but it just blows out the bulb. just do a search for it. honda said they were gonna charge me $35 to reset everything . after a while you don't even see the light anymore. good luck

It won't blow the bulb. You take the SRS (yellow) plug out from under the dash and take a paper clip (or anything metal to connect the plug ends together (your "jumping" the leads)) Then turn the ignition on the light will stay on for 6 seconds and go out, within 4 sec. dissconnect the jumped leads (the light will go on again) and within another 4 seconds jump it again and it will go out and stay out. Turn off the car, plug the yellow plug back in and voila. No burnt bulb, no drama, just pure victory.
