Re: SRS warning light on 2002 Honda Civic EX
Okay, on mine and my car-pool partners 2001 accord, same problem. SRS light
on. Found out it was a seatbelt on both. Dealer said it wasn't covered. I
paid for a different mechanic to replace. I find out 8 months later that
they are supposed to replace it free. I contacted Honda and both of us
received a check for the repair from Honda!
BTW, there is a plug and a reset procedure to turn the light off. It throws
NO codes on an OBD II. Nor can it be reset with it.
Here is the procedure I used to reset it:
1st you need to either buy or make the "SCS Service Connector." I used a
speaker harness for and older Honda which you can buy at a local stereo shop
such as Circuit City or Best Buy, and cut the wires and looped them
together. You can also use a paperclip but that will make it a little more
difficult because you have to connect it and disconnect it a few times
quickly.
2nd you need to find the MES (Memory Erase Signal) connector.
It is a yellow connector with two wires in it that is plugged into the fuse
box, unplug it and pull it down. Once you have done that you can begin the
process of erasing the memory. NOTE: This will only reset your SRS System if
what caused it to trigger has been fixed, Ex: turning the ignition on with
any SRS Plugs disconnected, such as pulling your seat out.
1.. Turn the ignition off and connect the SCS Service connector to the MES
Plug,
2.. Turn Ignition on. SRS indicator light will come on for about 6 seconds
then go off.
3.. Disconnect SCS service connector for MES connector within 4 seconds
after SRS indicator light goes off. SRS indicator light will come on again.
4.. Reconnect SCS service connector the MES connector within 4 seconds
after SRS light comes on. SRS indicator light will go off.
5.. Disconnect SCS service connector from MES connector within 4 seconds.
SRS indicator light will indicate that memory is erased by blinking 2 times.
6.. Turn ignition off, and wait 10 seconds. Start vehicle like normal and
light should come on and go out like normal. You have reset your SRS light,
congrats.
If it does not work the first time try it again, the timing has to be
perfect. It worked for me the 1st time using a paper clip on my 96 del sol.
Remember if u do it right it will blink two times and then go off.
