The srs light is on my 2001 honda civic. Every time i take it to the dealer, they tell me a different reason for the srs light coming up. I'm not sure if my driver/passenger airbags work. I searched the internet and found that several people had the same problem with their 2001 honda civic. Honda needs to recall for this problem. *tr

When i requested the dealership and subsequently honda motor co…

Srs system in 2001 honda civic mostly non-functioning. Light always returns. Completion of air bag recall in 2009 left light still on--drove away from dealer like this and they had no problem with light on. Was advised by to office that problem was code not reset. Returned to have code "reset" which dealer claimed was not the problem. Light back on again. The srs system does not function properly, period. *tr
