How to scan airbag codes, and clear them after a repair. Edit : The forum link has changed and it's a litte confusing. Here is another helpful chart I found: myairbags.zendesk.com/hc/en-u...

Worked perfectly! I just used a paper clip and received a 9-3 error number. The chart in the forum link you posted in the description was confusing so I just Googled the 9-3 SRS code and it turns out to be a my driver's side buckle switch. The part (new) costs about $150 to replace which is what I'm going to try and do for my 2005 Honda Civic LX (Special Edition) 2 Door. Can't imagine how much this money this saved me at an autoshop for time and labor. Thanks again!

@@ZackofAllTrades87 - Here it is another year later, and I'm having to do this again! As before, the airbag light will go off/on 2-3x, but it won't turn off the 4th time and stay off. Plus my wires are so short that it's painful to get to. It's not easy to do bc the wires are so short, and I have to adjust the paper clip ends each time I pull it out and it's difficult to keep it that straight and just right so it'll work right quickly. I remember last year when I did this, it took me 12-15x just to get it to work. Slam wore me out then and is doing the same this year! This is so crazy! WHY is it so difficult to get the light to go out the 4th time?!

I'm not positive on the Hondas, but if you don't have power there I would check for a blown fuse and then try again.

2005 Honda Civic EX 9-3 Airbag Light Code. After cleaning my driver side seatbelt switch with an engine ethanol cleaner spray I was having trouble resetting the Airbag light. I used tie wire after a couple failed attempts with the paper clip and Bobby pin. I was unsuccessful using the diagnostic plug in (the plug used for pulling the airbag code as well as engine codes). I finally tried using the yellow airbag plug next to the fuses and it worked on resetting the the light. Again, my Airbag light was on and not my SRS. Just to clarify.

I have a 2004 Honda Civic. I inserted the paper clip as instructed and when I turn the key on I get the light on for a bit just like the video but then it does about 4 or 5 rapid blinks, then another 4 or 5 rapid blinks, then one slow/normal blink and then 1 rapid blink. Then it does not repeat but just stays on. So I double checked the paper clip and even reinserted it but still same behaviour. Can anyone explain that? Or is this a real code like 4411 or 5511? Or any thoughts?
@ZackofAllTrades87 Жыл бұрын

@@ZackofAllTrades87 Actually I figured it out and four rapid blinks means 10, then the next four rapid blinks is another 10 and then one and one. So in other words my code is 21-1.
