What you will need

Procedure

1. Open the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Wait 15 minutes.

Notes

• These instructions will help you replace a deployed Honda airbag. However, your Honda airbag (SRS) light will remain on even after you replace the airbag. You need to use an OBD2 Airbag Scanner to reset the airbag light.
• Wait for at least fifteen minutes before working on the airbag system.
• Handle airbags with care.

I replaced my Honda airbag, but the airbag light won’t reset

To clear the airbag light, a Honda Airbag Scanner is needed. IN MOST CASES, THE generic OBD-II scanner cannot read airbag codes and clear them. Airbag fault codes can not be cleared if crash data is stored in the module.
