SRS light - anybody experiencing problems?
SRS light - anybody experiencing problems?
My SRS light came on earlier this week. TL has only been driven for 3,000 miles. The problem has stumped the service techs. My poor TL is sitting in the shop with the dash in shambles. Has anybody else experienced this problem? What was the solution?
I have the same problem on my 2000 TL. My car is out of warranty and they said to it will cost $95 to diagnose even if it just needed resetting. Additional cost applies, if found that there's more problem relating the SRS. I've been trying to find instruction on how to reset the SRS but having difficulty. The cost of Acura TL repair manual is around $90. Do you have additional info on this matter?
After 7 days in the garage, they seem to have fixed the problem. It wasn't an easy process. After an initial evaluation of the problem through their service computer, the dealer determined that the problem couldn't be diagnosed through the standard troubleshooting mechanism and that Acura technical needed to be called. Ultimately, the dealer needed to order a special cable to perform additional diagnostic tests for the Acura technical folks and at the end of the day they replaced the SRS computer. This doesn't seem to be a do-it-yourself project. I would recommend you let the dealer run the diagnostics. After all, its a vital piece of safety equipment.

ok boys and girls, nighthawkblack gave a great instructions of the method. however the wire block is not actually in the driver's side fuse box. it is barely under the dash by the drivers left knee as he/she drives. the two wire block has two green wires in a yellow block. now in that area there are two of these but one is a spring loaded connector and is bigger than the correct block which is about an inch of above the wrong one.
got you confused? hehe
1. two wires green in a yellow block (small)
2. under dash left of steering wheel as the driver sits.
3. smaller yellow block is the right one and is located one inch above another bigger yellow wire block which has a spring loaded connector.
i used a paper clip and not the tool mentioned previously. the wires have very little manuvering room so turn ingition on while on your knees looking up at the srs light. (this part is easier is your a woman). make sure the paper clip is evenly messured out to fit the block as the time frame to connect and disconnect is short.
Here is the proceedure:
1. Turn off ignition
2. Connect the SCS service connector to the 2pin wire you take out of the drivers fuse box and is now hanging from a thicker harness.
3. Turn on ignition
4. SRS light comes on for 6 sec and then goes off. Before it has been off 4 sec, Remove the SCS connector.
5.SRS light turns on again. Reconnect the SCS service connector withen 4 sec of light coming on
6. Light goes off, remove connector witeh 4 sec after light went off.
7. SRS light blibks 2 times telling you the memory is erased.
8. Turn ignition off.
