04 civic ex 4dr.
a light ont eh dash is always on; the light is a guy sitting in his seat with the airbag in front of him. its on the bottom right hand corner of the dash. this is my friend's car, he bought it salvage. the light recently came on. what is going on? is this the srs light. im not familar with this model so if it is the srs does anyone know where the airbag harness is to jump and reset? thanks.

 

If the car was a previously salvaged title, something may not have been replaced in the repair process.

Per the dealership, and Honda themselves, whom I have personally asked.... The computer that controls the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) and the seat belt pretensioners have to be replaced after an airbag accident.

You will need to take the car to a shop, prefferabally a dealership and get the code read, and see what the computer is trying to say.

If you don't, the airbags will not redeploy in an accident, even though the airbags were replaced and operational. So until that code is read, the problem fixed, and the light reset, you won't have airbags.

 

yes that is the airbag light but the problem is that its not like the older honda's.....you cant just use a jumper to reset it. it has to be cleared by a factory scan tool. just bring it to the dealer

 

you can reset it thru the MES located in the fuse box below the stering wheel. you can use a jumper. but if your srs is throwing a code, you will not be able reset it. check this out.
