The srs light does not goes off during driving. The dealer told me that it will disable the airbag, and can cause serious problem to me. Just let other honda owners with the same problem. I am really concerned about the safety of the car and hope honda will do something about it. *nm

Srs light came on out of the blue 8/06. I had an accident 2/05. Dealer "cleared codes". Light came on again. This time the dealer blamed the accident. Had the insurance company pay $400 for replacement of the srs unit. Light came on again one week later. Dealership claims that now it is a faulty seat belt buckle which would cost $305 to repair. This seems to be a major issue with honda civics. This seriously needs…

On my 2001 honda civic lx, the supplemental restraint system (srs) light comes on and has remained on for the past several weeks, indicating failure of air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners. This is apparently a problem with many of these vehicles and the repair to reset the system or replace the failed sensors/computers is not always successful (i.e. Light will eventually come back on). I have not repaired this…

Purchased a pre-owned 2001 honda civic in 2005, certified inspection by honda dealer. The srs light went on in april 2006. Never was involved in accidents or alike. The srs lights was reset twice but the lights went on after couple months. It has been more than a year now that the srs light is on and i am very worried about my safety. Honda should replace the airbag and fix it for the owners safety. *tr

The srs light came on and the dealer -- barber honda charged me $80 to reset it and no part needs to be replaced. This is a design fault that makes the customers pay unnecessary diagnoses and only benefit the dealer. This is a safety issue so the customer had no choice but to visit the dealer. *jb

2001 honda civic ex sedan srs light comes on and stay on. This is the second time as the first time the indicator was just reset but now it just stayed on. I think honda should have a recall on the srs system as this is a safety issue as in the event of an accident the air bags would not go off. Also, the side airbag light would just flicker on and off. I think also that nhtsa should make honda do a recall on the…
