I just bought a car from a friend which did custom interior. He accidently had the key in while working with the air bag. The system need to be rest but I don't want to pay the money to do so. Can anyone help me rest the computer without the dtc??

Thanks.

id have a pro look it over. If the light is on it may be for a reason. If work was done in that area and something tinkered with you dont want cover a potential problem.

Pay the money, it may save your life!

 

Thanks for the reply. I am sure the airbags is fine. The light came on because when he detached the harness, the ignition was on.... Thanks for the tip though.

 

ok, if you unpluged it, you are facing the same thing I faced... go Honda dealer, tell them to reset the light..!! cuz without the machine, it won't turn off...!! it shouldn't cost you anything and more than 5 minutes... (if they take your car right away)(claimed that how you know you can't unplug it and plug it back) hope this helps!

Sorry my friend but your kinda hosed. The SRS system is somewhat "sacrad".....read...don't mess with the airbags!!! In order to reset the DTC you need a service connector (Ref: P/N: 07PAZ-0010100). If your very electro savy you could jump the connector with a Helm Manual and software from http://www.obd-2.com/. Not knowing you or your level of knowledge I would say take it to the dealer for a reset, probably cheapest if you don't know OBD-II.......if you REALLY know your stuff send me a PM. This is not an easy reset; as you apparently have already found out.

Thanks fellows... I guess I have to take it to the dealership.

 

You don't have to.

You do need the service manual, or PM me and I will look it up for you. There is a two-pin diagnostic plug that needs to be shorted in sequence to clear any SRS trouble codes. If there truly is a problem (sounds like there is not) then the code will resurface. You will have thrown a code if the key was turned on w/the airbag removed.
