Disconnect your batter wait 10 minuets. This discharges all the capacitors in the srs unit. Most airbags are held in with torks bit screws. Un plugging the batter should reset the light or https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...ight=srs+reset its in hear use the yellow 2 wire connector (aka scs connector for the srs system) on the under dash fuse box.

these are the instructions to remove, but if ur airbags deployed, then i think u'll also have to change out the SRS computer. let me know if u need instructions for that too, but change out ur airbags and then follow the instructions on the link Fuse gave.

Thank you guys, but i didn't really understand those steps in the web https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s...ight=srs+reset
. Do i need a special tools to reset computer?
I have an airbags and a module. I am trying to replace those, step by step. I mean what goes first, air bags or module, and inside module steps. Is anything else need to be replaced as far as something in front( in bumper or something) some kind of spring clock?
I would like to have step by step details.
Thank you again.

get a paper clip and do it w/ it. in ur car, remove the knee panel below the steering wheel and look at the left side. u'd see a yellow connector w/ yellow loop around it. take that out.

* DO NOT PULL OUT THE YELLOW CONNECTOR ON THE FUSE BOX *
There're two yellow connectors, ones right up front on the left side, the second is going in to the fuse box.

1. turn off ur ignition,
2. put in that paper clip (do not worry it wont shock u or blow up ur airbag)
* make a u shape out of the paper clip and insert it in the connector so that it touches both the pins.
3. turn on ur igintion (do not start the car)
4. wait till the SRS light turns off.
5. remove the paper clip as soon as it turns off.
6. wait till it comes back on,
7. insert the paper clip as soon as it comes back on.
8. wait till it goes off again.
9. take the paper clip off when it goes off.
10. then SRS light should blink 2wice (which will reset ur computer)

also if it doesn't works out right, try it again. it took me 3 tries the first time.

Cool, so do i need to do it in both sides at the same time ? or driver side and than passenger side. As far as i understood, you explained to me how to do it under steering wheel but what about module itself ?
Thanks again.

This paper clip trick is not to be used on the air bag connectors just the connector on the fuse box to reset the srs light (it is a 2 wire connector yellow).You will pull it out of a dummy socket in the fuse box.

Or its just in a dummy connector holder under the dash. Cd5 is probably rite. Do you have a pic Cd5?????

its not the one in the fuse box. its the one right up front on the left side. just pull it out of the socket its in and put in the paper clip.

make sure the airbags are connected. u only need to do this once (for both airbags at the same time)

its not under the steering wheel, its inside the knee panel cover.
