Default SRS light

Watsup guys 95 Accord EX Coupe 4 cyl Automatic. SRS light on when I bought the car. Went through all the wiring in the interior. Tried resetting the light by jumping the connector, didnt work. If theres an easier way id rather diagnose this myself than pay local honda to do it labor rates are such a rip off. I know sometimes the ABS module light will blink and let you know the code not sure if the SRS module does the same? The car appears to have been in a front end collision at some point. Not sure if this car has a impact sensor mounted to the front insulator but I havent gone through any SRS wiring in the engine bay area. Thanks for reading

If you short the connector that you use to read engine codes, the SRS light will also blink codes. Find the link in the common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum on checking engine codes.

I appreciate your input PAhonda but your information wasnt correct, as I had originally researched the SRS light cannot be read by jumping the connector in the 95 accord. The light just remained on when I jumped the blue connector. I got quoted for $270 at the local honda for a airbag module, seems pricey might shop else where. If the module doesnt work then ill replace the clockspring. Got quoted for $177 on that piece.

I owned a 95 accord and still have a pdf of the shop manual. The SRS light will flash codes if you jump that service connector if the control unit is working properly.

I'd advise not to test SRS wiring as you may deploy an airbag while testing.

What were the wire colors on the connector you shorted to reset the SRS light? Also, did you do the reset procedure where you jump for 4 seconds, then remove jump for 4 seconds, then jump again? I'll give you the actual writeup if you haven't.

I know not to probe the connectors, the SRS wiring was simple enough to review. Yes I tried the 4 second reset on the yellow 2 prong connector. Are you suggesting that the airbag module is faulty because it will not generate a diagnostics code?

A bad SRS module is possible.

IIRC, the connector to reset the SRS light is close to the change holder behind the dash. It is not the yellow connector that plugs near the fuse box. Just want to make sure you are trying to reset using the proper connector.

The only other suggestion I have is to check the #1, #2, and #3 fuses in the under dash fuse box to see if they are good. Maybe check the ground at G701 is clean and secure.
