SRS reset on '03 Pilot

I removed the passenger seat to haul some long tables and after reinstalling
and reconnecting all of the wiring, the SRS light stays lit on the dash. Is
there a reset switch or button?

 

you need to take it to the dealer so they can reset it with the pgm tester.
the removal of the seat seat off a code for the "occupant position detection
system" which detects a passengers on seats.

 

hey check out this, found it on the www.yahoo.com and did a search
on SRS light, honda and came up with this... hope it helps... i have the
same problem with a 2001 civic and got alot of sites with info on how to
reset it... the best one is on www.superhonda.com where it shows you the
pictures, i could not locat the thing under my dash, kinda old and could
not bend that far down to get under there(bad back) oh well will get
some kid to climb under there and check it out of me...

Thanks, Jim. This looks like a winner. Pasting for others to use:


Directions for erasing memory on SRS light
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

MES Plug in Fuse box. 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. My first time it took me 3 attempts before it worked, but it did
work.

 

If you wait a while it will probably reset itself if there are no faults.
Most reset after a few drive cycles...

 

gee the info i received from the honda dealer and from the internet is
that you have to reset it to get the light to go out... unless the bulb
burns out....

 

the easiest way is to let the dealer reset it with a pgm

 

just about any question on this newsgroup could use an answer like that:
the easiest way is to let the dealer do it????
bet it is a pat answer for just about any newsgroup dealing with cars..
bet you can even give advise on doing home repair, etc. by saying call a
contractor....
pretty goo answer...
thanks for the info...

 

I work at a Honda dealership in el Paso TX. we use a pgm or the hdt for
diagnosing alot of things, there are self tests on the computers that we get
alot of info on. the srs system is one of those complex systems in which we
love using our tools on, its easy and efficient. a person risks damaging an
srs system trying to diagnose systems themselves. a person might even set
off an airbag. take it to the dealer. leave it to the pros.

 

If your professional dealer opinion is that inserting a paperclip into a
diagnostic harness might set off an airbag, then I certainly wouldn't want
you working anywhere near my car.
