Bought the car with the SRS light on. I just tried reseting in. Seems to have gone well, the SRS lioght blinked twice the last time i pulled out the jumper, but then when I turn on the car the light is still on. its a 97 integra. Maybe i should check the code to see what it is, how do I do that? Do i need a scan tool?

 

yeah.. you would need to take it to honda to have the code scanned... you can just blink out the code, as well, and that will tell you what the issue is..

I have actually been seeing this happen alot.. people will got to reset it on the 97+ tegs, and it never shuts off.. idunno.. lol

have you hit up google?

 

I searched, i found the reset procedure, but no procedure for getting the code. ANyone know it?

 

there is a jumper that you put a paper clip in, and turn on the car, and it will flash the code on the srs light.. i wish i knew where it was.. lol.. otherwise id be able to help more.. haha

 

Jsut did that. Turned the car on, it flashed one kinda long one. Then there wsa a long pause. Then it went on again. Is that code 1 or 10?

 

long should be 10

 

Ya I had the same code and it was my srs cable reel behind the steering wheel, make sure you eliminate the airbags because if someone swapped out the airbags youll never get it to reset, make sure all your part numbers match heres a good website type in your vin number.

srs cable reel? Ive heard of it before, but dont really know what it is or what it does. Im betting theyre expensive new, should i just get a used one from someone selling their steering wheel?

 

Ps, what is it that can malfuntion in the cable reel? Is it a mechanical or an electric problem?

 

electrical problem, the cable reel has an electical cable in it and sometime they get worn out or chaffed from the turning of the steering wheel or improper install..
