Srs light keeps coming on for no reason. Has happened 4 times and honda won't "fix" it. Airbags don't work when light is on and car will not pass va state inspection with light on. Honda charges over $85.00 to run diagnosis but each time finds nothing wrong and just resets the light. Why won't honda fix this problem.

Srs light comes on and does not go off. If there was an accident, the air bags would not function. We were told to keep wallets off the seat and cell phones out of the car. Is there any resourse to fix this problem and why has it not been recalled. The dealer has reset and charged us three times and has not yet fixed the problem.

The srs light on my 2001 honda civic ex came on unexpectedly while i was driving the car. There was no crash, no front end damage...it just came on. I took it to the dealership where the car was purchased. They reset the light and told me that if it came on again, i would have to have the entire steering column replaced as the air bags would not work. This would cost me in excess of $800. While it was parked in the…

Side airbag light came on and stayed on with no one sitting in the passengers seat. Tried to re-set according to manual and disconnected battery for 3 minutes. No good. The car only has 50k on it and talking to other honda owners it is a chronic problem. I have an expensive car and i don't know if the airbags will work properly without taking it to the dealer so he can take my money. *jb

2001 honda civic ex, srs light stays on. Code 15-3. Opd system sensor was replaced 9/21/01 under warranty. Light went back on a short time later. Someone in the service department told my daughter that it was nothing to worry about, because this light sometimes went on for no reason. Unfortunately, he did not explain that the airbags are disabled when this light is on. She has been driving it with the light on since…

I have taken my 2001 honda civic hx to the dealer on multiple times to have the srs light repaired. The first time they reset the light and it came back on in a couple of days. The second time they stated that the opds was malfunctioning probably due to aftermarket electronics (cell phone, radio, etc). The light came back on the same day. They stated that the module would have to be replaced and is not covered by my…

The srs light came on after less than 6 month after purchased the vehicle brand new. The dealer just reset the light and it would come on within weeks again. It took the dealer 3 times before admitting the srs module is defective. Then it took another month before they could obtain the part and replaced it. Within a year, the srs light came on again and claimed the module is defective again and will cause $400 to…
