Which yellow connector do I disconnect to re-set SRS system?
 

Sorry to keep posting so many questions, I just found this forum and I've been dealing with these SRS and CEL codes like crazy...

Anyway, I read a how-to on resetting the SRS system by disconnecting and reconnecting a yellow connector thats up under the left dash by the fuse box.

Is it the only yellow connector that's plugged into the fuse box or is it actually one of the other yellow connectors that are up under the dash?

Thanks for any help,

Donnie

That connector you are looking for is on the side panel plugs into a dummy connector NOT the one that is in the fuse box.

Here is the location: Sitting in the driver's seat. It is behind the bottom left corner of the plastic panel that has the change holder.

PA,

Thank you again so much for all the help!

I did find the correct plug and did get the system reset.

I put a post in my other thread about the codes that it listed when I shorted the ECU connector.

They were 7;1, 7;2 and 7;3 I'm pretty sure.

Thanks again,

Donnie

What was wrong with your SRS.

I have the SRS light on my dashboard lit - it's been that way for about 2 years. Can I reset it like described in this thread - or is my circumstance different than yours?

Thanks

First off, your threadjacking will confuse the issue for the OP.
Secondly, I'm gazing at the crystal ball and still have no idea WHAT YEAR the Accord is.

Sorry,

the OP had resolved his issue, so I didn't think I was threadjacking. I was asking if his issue was similar to mine or something completely different.

My car is a 2000 Accord EX - and I've been ignoring the SRS light on my dashboard for a couple years. The warning light lit up one day for no reason that I'm aware of - and has been on ever since. If it's as simple as what the OP just resolved - I'll try and fix it the way described in this thread.

If not, I'm not overly concerned about it - but turning lights off on my dashboard is always a good thing. :D

Unless your car has a salvage title, the airbags should be under warranty.

Pretty sure in 2000 the airbag warranty was "for the useful life of the car".

my SRS light is on as well but is a 95 honda accord. What does SRS stand for anyway?

Safety restraint system....

Ever heard of google.com?

Supplementary Restraint System. Even with a 95, I'd call a dealer & ask about warranty. "FOR THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE CAR." It wasn't until about 2006 or 2007 before Honda changed it to 15yr/150k-miles.

When I had a 95 Integra, it had "SRS" embossed into the dashboard above the glovebox, where the passenger airbag was. More than one person saw that & said they thought only Toyota had "SR5" version of their cars.

Thank you so much to all who helped out!

And it's also great to know that the SRS system/airbags are still covered under warranty:D

I didn't realize that.

Don't grin so much until the dealer says OK to the warranty claim... I've heard stories about dealers trying to deny that.

I actually work at a Nissan/Subaru dealer in Northern California.

I'm not too worried but if it says that it's covered in the owners manuals or the warranty information booklet that comes with the owners manual, that's the way to check for sure.

Sorry it took me a while to find the 96 shop manual. The 96 has a different set of SRS codes than the 94 shop manual.

7-1, 7-2, 7-3 are all codes for the Internal failure of the SRS unit. There are no diagnostics for it, the shop manual just says to replace the main unit.

If the light comes back on, then that is the likely fix.

If the light doesn't return, I don't know what to suggest. Its a safety feature on the car, and I don't like to take chances.

Do any of the techs on here have a suggestion?

Thank you so much for the interpretation of the codes.

If the light pops back on, we'll look into getting a new SRS unit for it.

Thanks again and take care,

Donnie
