Did your air bag deploy or did seat belt get unbuckle?

As far as I know Honda has lifetime warranty for safety devices, but since your were involved in an accident I doubt they will do it for free.

Good luck,

I have a compilation of information on resetting SRC light. It would be much easier to just attach it to post, but no such luck on this site. So I just do copy-and-paste routine. I hope you will find what you need.

Good luck,

How to reset your SRS light on your civic.

This works for 99-00 Civic's as well as 2k1's. What is pictured is actually a 2k1 but the plug for the 99-00's are in the fuse box also, just on the other side of the column.

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.

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. 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.

First, if the SRS light comes on even after being reset, this means you have a problem with your Airbag system, a very important safety system on your vehicle. Simply performing a reset will not correct this potential problem. However, after visiting the dealer a few times with my Accord and being told there was nothing wrong and being told the many different things that can trigger the light I was satisfied this was a not a life-threatening problem with my vehicle. Also, after performing the reset my light stays off for a month or two. The most common non-failure trigger of the SRS light, so I’m told, is simply a low battery.

Ok, enough disclaimers. Here is how to do it. Read all steps before beginning.

1. Locate the Memory Erase Module (MEM) connector. This is a yellow two-wire electrical connector located near the fuse box. It is NOT the multi-wire yellow connector going into the fuse box. On my Accord it is located right under the dash above the hood release lever. This connector is plugged into a “blank” socket, which is simply a holder for the connector.

2. Unplug the connector from the socket to expose the two metal terminals in the connector.

3. You will not need to make a jumper wire or a connector to jump across the two terminals. A paper clip might work but it might be hard to hold against the terminals. You will see why as you read on. I used a jumper wire with a small probe on one end, which I wedged on one terminal, so I could touch the second terminal with the other end.

4. Jump the two terminals performing an electrical connection between the two.

5. Turn the ignition switch past the ACC position to the ON position. But don’t start the car. Watch the SRS light, it should stay on for about 6 seconds and then go off, disconnect one end you the jumper within 4 seconds after that and the SRS light should come back on again.

6. Within 4 seconds after the light comes back on, reconnect the jumper and the SRS light should go off again. Disconnect the jumper, again within 4 seconds, and the SRS light should blink twice and stay off.

You may need to try this a few times to get it to work. Make sure you turn the key off between attempts. If it doesn’t work, or the light comes on soon after it is reset, it probably means you have a “hard fault” in the SRS system that should be fixed.
