How to Reset the Airbag on a 1998 Honda Civic

How to Reset the Airbag on a 1998 Honda Civic

Resetting the SRS system in your 1998 Honda Civic is vital when the SRS light illuminates on your instrument panel. SRS stands for Supplemental Restraint System. This refers to the Hondas airbag setup. When you see this light, you need to have a professional mechanic look at the Honda and do any necessary repairs. After repairs have been completed, the mechanic should reset the light for you. If not, you can reset the light yourself at home without the use of any special tools.

Instructions

    1

    Locate the fuse panel cover under the steering column. Open it by pulling down on the top of the fuse panel cover with your fingers.

    2

    Find a yellow electrical connector. Pull it out of the fuse panel. This is the SRS connector.

    3

    Bend a paperclip into a straight line. Touch one end of the paperclip to one terminal in the SRS connector and touch the other end of the paperclip to the other terminal. This will electrically jump the terminals and reset the SRS light.

    4

    Put the yellow connector back into the fuse box and close the panel.
