How to reset your civic SRS light

Just a short one today, the day after cleaning the carpets the civics SRS light appeared. In this video I show you how to reset it on an EK3 civic! It took me multiple attempts to get the timing right.
I believe the process is the same for EG, EK, EP civics - and other hondas around the 90's.
Instructions below:
1. There is a yellow plug under the dash plugged into the fuse panel. It has two wires going into it. Take that plug out, place a jumper wire (or paperclip) into the two holes to short the wires.
2. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” (II) position. The SRS light will go off. Within 4 seconds unplug the jumper wire.
3. When the SRS light comes back on plug the jumper wire back in within 4 seconds.
4. Once the light goes off again, remove the jumper wire. The light will blink twice and go out.
5. Unplug the jumper and turn the ignition key off, wait 15 -20 seconds and start the car

You should check that the airbags are still working with a test crash.

Perhaps this is the next thing I can do before fitting my replacement steering wheel 🤔

The best tutorial for resetting.

Thanks man 👍

[@Dres-xo7um]

If this doesnt work and you still want the light off just unplug it from behind the cluster

[@Keats.Garage]

Solves the light issue, but currently in the UK the light needs to illuminate and then go off with the ignition as part as the yearly inspection 👍 you could always wire up a timed relay to achieve that I guess 😆

[@Matanumi]

yeah....thats a pain in the pass this works for older hondas. this is the move

[@mdu2112]

I also had to try a few times. I think I waited too long when the light disappears the second time. My final successful attempt was when I removed the jumper as soon as the light went off, the 2nd time. Then I got the double-blink. Thanks!

That shit worked 🤯

Cool thanks ❤

[@djvisuals4887]

will the SRS light stay off when you do this?

[@Keats.Garage]

@@djvisuals4887 it will stay off as long as the original fault has been fixed, mine often comes back on every few months and I just reset it again

[@djvisuals4887]

is there a proper way to put the paperclip been trying for 20 minutes SRS light won't go off 1995 EG civic

[@Keats.Garage]

@@djvisuals4887 shouldn't be any special way on going it, mine was an EK so perhaps the EG runs a different system? The timings can be a bit fiddly and make sure it's in the metal plus rather than stuck on the plastic before it

[@Ryo-099]

Thanks for the help , i can reset my own ❤

[@Dres-xo7um]

Do i plug the yellow cable back in after reset?

[@Keats.Garage]

It's only plugged into a holder, doesn't actually go anywhere, I've left mine hanging incase it needs resetting again

[@DavidLomas20]

My paperclips don't look like that

[@Keats.Garage]

Have you tried finding a different breed of paperclip? I heard they come in all different shapes and sizes

[@DavidLomas20]

@@Keats.Garage I'll ask around

[@Benergy_Fit]

Do the airbags still work tho ?

[@mdu2112]

@@Benergy_Fit Disclaimer: I'm not a car mechanic. They should work, else the light will eventually come back on. If so, get a mechanic to check the code. Also know that resetting that light's status does not clear codes from memory if there is/was an actual problem. One know cause of the light coming on, if if the car was left with absolutely no power (dead or missing battery/accumulator) for a while.

Danke dir Bro. Alle anderen Videos habe ich nicht verstanden. Deiner ist das beste zum nachmachen.

Hast du es ausprobiert ? Habe Angst das der Airbag auslöst deswegen . Hab einen civic Ma9 bei dem auch die Lampe immer leuchtet..
