How to reset SRS

gong0019 · 07-04-2002, 12:51 PM

HEy guys it's easy to set off your srs light. There are two different lights SRS and Side Air Bag to get the side air bag light to turn off (if nothing is in or leaning on the seat) make sure the harnesses are connected under the seat and disconnect the battery and re connect it after 1 min. If the SRS light is on
1. go under the drivers side dash and look for the yellow plug in the back of the fuse box (there will be 2) small (top) large (bottom)
2. With the car in the off posisition un plug the small yellow connector.
3. take a paper clip or a jumper wire and insert it into the ent of the connector
4. turn the key on
5. wait for the light to go out and come back on quickly remove the jumper and put it back fast fast fast
6. wait for the light to go out the secone time and it should stay out if it does simply remove the jumper and plug it back in. if not start over. caution only do this if you are sure no sensors have failed if in a few days it comes on again you have a bad sensor and need to get it repaired!

Hey gong0019, I tried that several times but no luck. The light goes off for a couple seconds but then comes bacl on and stays on. I tried doing it exactly as you said but it doesnt stay off. Can you tell me what I might be doing wrong?

I'll explain again.

How to reset your SRS light.

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 opposite side of the driverside's 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.

1st step in erasing the memory is to turn the ignition off and connect the SCS Service connector to the MES Plug,

2nd Turn Ignition on. SRS indicator light will come on for about 6 seconds then go off.

3rd Disconnect SCS service connector for MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS indicator light goes off. SRS indicator light will come on again.

4th Reconnect SCS service connector the MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS light comes on. SRS indicator light will go off.

5th Disconnect SCS service connector from MES connector within 4 seconds. SRS indicator light will indicate that memory is erased by blinking 2 times.

6th 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.

If you fail with this trial, you must have something wrong with Air bag. You should contact with Honda dealer near you.
