Sensor/Control Module
I recently purchased a used honda accord and noticed the srs light was on. Subsequent research revealed that the control module is defective and honda does not cover its replacement. This is a safety issue, as the airbags will not deploy with the srs light on. Honda should be responsible for this. Please issue a recall. This problem has been occurring for several years--obviously, they are not interested in meeting…

The complaint is regarding the srs module. The unit malfunctioned, giving a red dashboard alarm light. The local honda dealer attempted to reset the trouble light, but couldn't. The dealer indicated the part number on my service invoice as honda part # 06772-sv4-a71 for a 1997 honda accord. I queried several salvage yards for a used part as the oem part was in excess of $500. I was sent the srs module from a salvage…

As others have stated, the srs light recently came on for no apparent reason. My 97 accord lx wagon has 72000 miles. This same problem happened a year ago (at about 65,000), and i paid about $40 to have them check it out, and reset the light. They said nothing was wrong with the air bag system. This shouldn't be an expense the owner should have to bear. Obviously, i am not alone in having this problem. *la

Srs light/sensor unit. We own a 1997 accord. In 2002, the srs light came on, and we brought it to honda dealer. They were able to get the light to turn off. The light came on again recently, and as last year they were able to turn the light off. They said if it comes on again, we will have to replace the defective sensor for $825. Well, a week later, the light came on again. We only have 39k miles on the car.…

The "srs" light has repeatedly come on. Honda service says the sensor/module is bad and needs to be replace at a cost of $715.00. The air bags have never been deployed. Honda should warrant this safety equipment item at no cast to the owner. The warning light is currently "on" and cannot be reset according to honda service department. *la

The srs light on our 1997 honda ex-v6 model will not go off. We complained to the dealer, willey honda, (where the automobile was purchased new and all service work has been done) and they simply turned the light off saying there must be a "short" in the light. The first complaint was before the warranty was up on the vehicle. Several times since when it has come back on - they would turn it off. Now they are…
