I have a 1996 Honda Civic LX Sedan, it was in a front end collision and both the passenger and driver air bags deployed. I have already purchased both new airbags and I was wondering if I had to buy a brand new SRS unit, if I have to reset it, or if I can just plug in the new airbags? Thanks guys!

 

TTT

 

I would think you could just reset it...the SRS light should still be on? What about the sensors? Do they have to be replaced? I would call a dealership and ask, I would think you'd have to replace the SRS sensor thingies and reset the SRS, then just plug in the new airbags.

 

you need a new srs control unit

 

Per the helms, once the system is deployed, you need a new SRS unit.

 

Well thats shitty...... brand new from Honda there $475.24USD anyone have a better idea how to get a hold of one? Or are the airbags gonna have to be "just for looks"

 

I found a used SRS control unit from a salvage yard. Don't go to pick and pull, find a year that gives a warranty on their parts. I did this on my 1997 Civic EX and got one for $150 with a 90 day warranty. It all worked out fine, but beware sometimes when airbags deploy the wires in the clock spring burn up (like a fuse) along with the yellow airbag wiring.
