Icon2 SRS light won't reset, dealer can't diagnose

I am unable to reset or get any codes from my SRS light in my 01 Acura CL Type S, but I have reset it before. Honda dealer says they can't establish communication with SRS module to get any codes, so they need to start by replacing the module. $150 diagnosis fee plus $818 for part/labor. This sucks. My main question is whether it happens that a dealer cannot pull the codes. Doesn't seem legit to me...

I was unable to find any posts of people who could not reset the SRS light at all, as is my situation. I hope to get some answers soon

UPDATE:
I got the official word from the dealer when I picked up the car today. Thankfully they now agreed to waive the diagnostic fee and wash the car for free.

This is the tech's writeup:
"I tried to check for codes w/ the 2 different HDS setups and came up with no communication with the SRS unit, also tried the PGM tester and an aftermarket scanner and they said no SRS communication, fuses good, checked for bulletins and could not find any, tried shorting the SCS connector and could not get codes. Per manual we need to start by replacing the SRS control unit and recheck"

So I agreed to have them swap out the unit ($818) which of course was "cross shipped" (aka sent to GA instead of MN, duh). Now we wait...
