i recomend u just fixed the problem with the airbag...safety first...

 

:werd:

Search on Honda-Tech...I think that's where I found how to do it. It's not hard at all, you just have to find a connector that's more or less below the steering column, and jump it in a specific sequence. That light will come on any time the SRS system is disabled...like if you replace the steering wheel. Don't take out the bulb - fix it.

 

I told him that fixing it was the way to go, but I just recommended taking out the light if he didn't mind not having srs. I agree that having the airbag is important but that doesn't stop people from putting aftermarket steering wheels and stuff like that in.

 

Point taken.

But, as long as he has one, might as well have one that works. Maybe it's more of a personal pet peeve. I hate having anything on my car that is not functioning as it should. I'd rather just not have it.

I used to own a jetta.. VW are peices of shit.. everything like that stopped working(heated seats, power windows, etc.) I sold it for $500 more than I paid and bought my civic.. but I was young and immature then h:

 

How to reset your SRS light on your civic. This works for 99-00 Civic's as well as 2k1's. What is pictured is actually a 2k1 but the plug for the 99-00's are in the fuse box also, just on the other side of the column.

1st you need to either buy or make the "SCS Service Connector." I used a speaker harness for and older Honda which you can buy at a local stereo shop such as Circuit City or Best Buy, and cut the wires and looped them together. You can also use a paperclip but that will make it a little more difficult because you have to connect it and disconnect it a few times quickly.

2nd you need to find the MES (Memory Erase Signal) connector.
It is a yellow connector with two wires in it that is plugged into the fuse box, unplug it and pull it down. Once you have done that you can begin the process of erasing the memory. NOTE: This will only reset your SRS System if what caused it to trigger has been fixed, Ex: turning the ignition on with any SRS Plugs disconnected, such as pulling your seat out.

1st step in erasing the memory is to turn the ignition off and connect the SCS Service connector to the MES Plug,

2nd Turn Ignition on. SRS indicator light will come on for about 6 seconds then go off.

3rd Disconnect SCS service connector for MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS indicator light goes off. SRS indicator light will come on again.

4th Reconnect SCS service connector the MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS light comes on. SRS indicator light will go off.

5th Disconnect SCS service connector from MES connector within 4 seconds. SRS indicator light will indicate that memory is erased by blinking 2 times.

6th Turn ignition off, and wait 10 seconds. Start vehicle like normal and light should come on and go out like normal. You have reset your SRS light, congrats.

If it does not work the first time try it again, the timing has to be perfect. It worked for me the 1st time using a paper clip on my 96 del sol. Remember if u do it right it will blink two times and then go off.

 

wow ur helpful...TIIGHHHT

 

I got that from www.automotivetech.org from a del sol forum I USED to visit. Since they changed their format u cant post any new messages.


But I did use it and it did reset my srs light. The real test will be when I get hit. ANyway I think if your air bags work fine, unless its a show car and u never drive it, you should at least see if this resets it. I wear my seatbelt religiously and air bags

If mine didnt reset and I fried the SRS computer then I wouldnt pay the money to get another one personally. I have heard they arent cheap and working with airbags is dangerous and can really hurt u.

But if you didnt have airbags in a del sol I was thinkning you could but a motorized lcd screen in the dash where the passenger airbag cover is. But since mine work now Im not gonna do that.

 

actually, I disabled my airbags, the first generation airbags are garbage, and generally end up injuring you worse than if you had none at all.

Now if this was a 96^ vehicle then I would def. fix the SRS light...but as far as the EG is concerned, I have seen too many people get seriously hurt using the first gen airbag system
