so i just bought a 99 crv, airbags deployed. i already replaced the driver one on the steering wheel but havent found a replacement for the passenger side yet. can i reset the SRS light and will it stay off or do i have to replace both of them?

 

Yes. both airbags. You also must replace the SRS unit.

 

so how about cars with the airbag delete tray... do those cars always have the srs light or is there a srs unit that only detects the steering wheel airbag?

 

Is that a JDM model? The SRS unit does detect both airbags. I dont think you will be able to get a JDM unit through normal channels. BUT.... There is a way to trick the SRS unit into thinking there are two airbags. Just install a 2 ohm jumper in place of the air bag you want to delete. Available at your local Radio Shack. The other airbag will work fine! You still have to replace the SRS unit on your car. You will have an "airbag deployed code".
