wtf.....i was just driving like normal and my fukin SRS and MAINTENANCE light came on out of nowhere .....was worried for a bit when i saw the maintenance light come on but car seems to be still running fine, i turned it off and turned it on to see what code it gives me and it blank once...if im not mistaken that involves the O2 sensor doesnt it? i heard of alot of hondas light coming on like that after they put on an intake but mine never did that till now...someone hook it up wit some answers yo

 

to get rid of the maintenance light all you have to do is turn the key to the AC position, dont turn the car on, then when all your instrumentation lights up, hold and turn to the left the Trip button (the one that tells you how far you have traveled, cant think of the actual name right now). Well you hold it until the Maintenance light turn off.

SRS might be something totaly different, dont know the answer to that one.

 

Aite thats cool, but I still dont understand why my maintenance light would just come on like that out of nowhere, THATS what worries me

 

The maintenace light come on like every 7000 miles on all newer hondas, it comes on for "scheduled" maintenance, which is oil, filters, etc. etc., my mechanic told me that once he took his honda to the dealer and they charged him about $150 just to get rid of the light, which was basically what I described to you. But its nothign serious, if it were the check engine light then you have other issues.

 

I kno its scheduled to come on after certain mileage, it was already doing that before this happened but it didnt stay on like it does right now

 

main't light is mileage based... it comes on every 7,500 miles after you reset it. it is simply a reminder, and completely different from the check engine light. was the srs light the side srs light by any chance? if your model has side airbags, there is a sensor in the seat to detect if anything would be in the way of the side airbag deploying. if someone were to lean over towards the door, the sensor would detect it, turn the side airbag system off and the side srs light would come on. the system turns back on whenever it doesn't detect something in the way anymore and the light would turn off. even a backpack or something similar can trigger the sensor. with all of that said, if it was the srs light (and not side srs) then you'll probably need to have honda check it out.

oh, and i see no reason why an intake would cause the o2 sensor to fail.

 

hmm you think maybe it has to do with the fact my car has almost 70k on it? haha

From my experience, if you don't turn the light off when it blinks, it will eventually stay on until you turn it off.

 

yeah mine came on to but i just reset it no biggy, but when the SRS comes on it can mean something is wrong with a safety part on your car. for example my srs came on because of a fulty switch on the driverside seat belt. just stuff like that may turn that SRS on. basically when that turns on air bags turn off automatically i think.... peace Good luck

 

OK, sorry i didnt say this earlier, but couldnt remember, the SRS light comes on when someone or something is not properly set on the seat, for example every time one of my friend slouches it comes on. I asked the dealer about this and they told me that since somethings are not set headrest level, the light will come on, it would come on specially if you sit small children on the front seat and their head does not match up to the headrest. I proved this by asking one of my friends to slouch to one side, as opposed to setting their back staight against the seat, and the light came on.

Next time it comes on, just notice what type of weight or how someone is sitting on the seat.

 

it has nothing to do with the headrest... the side airbag deploys from the side of the seat. if say, someone was leaning against the door and the airbag deployed, the airbag itself would injure them. the sensor only reads things if they are too far off center from the seat towards the door. test it out yourself... it has nothing to do with the headrest.

 

isnt the srs light different from the air bag light?

 

the srs is the air bag light. (supplemental restraint system)

for cars w/o side airbags, there is only one light: srs

for cars w/ side airbags, there's 2 lights: srs, and side srs

You my friend are correct and I am well aware of the sensors for the passenger side airbag and WHERE you have to place pressure for the sensor to trigger, BUT its just i have no explanation to why the SRS light, not the SIDE SRS light has gone off
