Honda has a serious problem with their srs sensor located in the driver's seat belt buckle assembly. Any cursory examination of blogs will illuminate that this defect is very common. I have a 2002 honda civic ex 5 speed manual transmission and the diagnostics show that a malfunction of the sensor in the belt buckle assembly is causing the srs light to appear on my panel. It should be noted that the airbag will not…

Unit replaced for around $500 total. I have owned many honda's for many years and this is the first time this situation has happened. I understand other items on a car do wear out and need replacement. This item, for safety…

I have a 2002 honda civic ex sedan. Around 70,000 miles my srs light turned on. I have taken it to the dealership and they say i have to replace the main unit at a cost of over $500 and it will not be covered under any warranty. I've read about many people having this same problem with the repair not always fixing the problem. Honda is apparently giving excuses such as cell phone or other electrical interference.…

I have a 2002 honda civic ex. The srs light came on. I had it checked at the dealer who charged me $45. The light came back on the next day. They had told me if it did come on the srs sensor would need to be replaced which would cost approx. $400. Said my problem was probably caused by an air purifier i had plugged into dash. Also told me it could be caused if i put my purse with cell phone (even if not on) on…

I have had my srs light come on 3 times. The first time the dealer said all they could find was "soft codes" and reset it, costing me $87.50 for the diagnostic check. A day later the srs light came on again, this time they said the battery showed low voltage and needed to be replaced. I asked if i could pickup the vehicle and replace the battery myself, the answer was yes, but there would be another $87.50…

Srs indicator light stays on. Failure in the opds unit (side occupant sensor for side airbags). I have seen many complaints on this on many sites and this is the best site to lodge the complaint. Now since i cannot afford $800 for a replacement part at this time and they will not honor it under warranty (i guess safety systems should fail at 50,000 miles), i will have no airbag system since the sides are tied to the…

We bought a new 2002 honda civic lx in december of 2002. In chico, calif. It had, i believe, a 30,000 mile warranty. At no more than 45,000 miles,(i have the receipt) the srs light came on. Two days later, we took it to our local honda dealer in redding, calif. They said the computer showed that the air bags would not deploy unless the device in the computer was replaced. They also stated that the honda company did…

At about 50k miles, my srs indicator light started to illuminate sporadically. Eventually however, it was on all the time. After having my car in the shop 3 times, the dealer informed me there was a short in the electrical mainframe that was causing the light to go on. I was also informed my airbags would no deploy in a crash because of this. To repair this problem would cost me over $500, and i was told this is not…

We believe our 2002 honda crv has an electrical malfunction. The first year after we bought the car the malfunction light would turn on and stay on. We took it to the dealer at least 3 or 4 times, but they said there was nothing wrong with it and just turned the light off. Well a couple of weeks ago the srs light turned on. The car only has 44,000 miles. Fairfax honda said that their diagnostic test didn't show…

If this is a frequent problem then why did they not recall and replace the sensors or defective parts. Srs from what i was told is the sensor for the seatbelt and airbags. Why am i the only one who feels that those are…

Srs indicator light came on for no apparent reason in my 2002 honda civic ex, which was purchased new. The failure of the part in question causes the airbags to fail in the event of a collision. I have been assured that this is a common failure in the srs control unit, and is not due to any negligence of the car owner (when the vehicle has not been involved in an accident). I have come across many people with the…

On january 31 2003 i reported to the honda dealership that my srs light was on my 2002 honda civic ex which is still under warranty. They replaced the seatbelt buckle sensor stating that it was the problem. I have since returned on december 12 2003 and on may 17 2004 for the same problem and they allegedly fixed it by replacing the passenger seatbealt sensor everytime. On june 5 2004 the srs light has come on again.…

The srs light is activated and requires a visit to the dealer to re-activate the srs system if a cell phone is left on the front passenger seat. Per the dealer, the cell phone interferes with the srs sensors that measure seat vs seatback pressure and tells the system to shut off. Additionally, if a small package is placed on the front seat, the srs deactivates - which is fine, but it may remain deactivated after the…
