Honda Car Forum

Hi all,

I had accidently left my sun roof opened overnight during the rain the
other day. I tried to dry the car to be best of my abilities and the
next thing I know my SRS light turned on after a few hours of driving.

Could the beinging on light be related to the wet interior? If so,
what would I have to do to remedy it short of bringing it to the
dealer and paying a few hundred dollars.

yes. its probably the seat cushion sensors. shopvac, towel, dry it off
as best you can, and hope for the best. if it doesnt go out in about a
week or so, looks like a trip to the dealer is in order. maybe a reset
will cure it, maybe not.

you could *try* disconnecting the battery and see if that does anything.

ive got a $99 code scanner that can reset OBD2 codes, but AFAIK, it
doesnt work on the SRS system

The SRS control unit will retain stored DTCs for more than 10
years with out being connected to a power source...


To clear the SRS DTC you need to use the MES connector (it's
yellow) found in the dash fuse box.

Playing around witht the MES connector might a little too "hands-on"
for me. Feels like defusing a bomb or something. Guess there isn't
an easier way is it? If I have to go tot he dealership, how much do
you think it will costs?
