NOTE:. lf you cannot retrieve DTCSwith the PGM Tester
using the SRS menu method. retrieve the flash codeswith the Tester in SCS mode {see page 23-24|,.. A new SRS unit must sense the entire system is OK
before completing its initial self-test. The most
common cause of an incomplete self-test is the
failure to replace all deployed parts after a collision,
in particular, seat belt tensioners and seat belt buckletenstoners.. An incomplete self-test prevents the PGM Tester fromretrieving DTCS, although flash codes are available in
the Tester's SCS mode.

Component Replacement/lnspection After Deployment
NOTE: Before doing any SRS repairs. use the PGM
Tester SRS menu method to check for DTCS; refer to the
DTC Troubleshooting Index for the less obvious
deployed parts (seat beit tensioners, front sensors, side
airbag sensors, etc.)
After a collision where the seat belt tensioners
deployed, replace these items:' Seat belt tensioners. Seat belt buckle tensioners. SRS unit. Front impact sensors
After a collision where the front airbag(s) deployed.
replace these items:. SRS unit. Deployed airbag(s). Seat belt tensioners. Seat belt buckle tensioners. Front impact sensors
After a collision where the side airbag{s) deployed,
replace these items:. SRS unit. Deployed side airbag(s). Side impact senso(s)for the side(s) that deployed
During the repair process, inspect these areas:
. lnspect allthe SRS wire harnesses. Replace, don't
repair, any damaged harnesses.. Inspectthecable reelfor heatdamage. lf there is any
damage, replace the cable reel.
Afterthe vehicle is completely repaired, turn the
ignition switch ON (ll). lf the SRS indicator comes on for
about 6 seconds and then goes off, the SRS airbag
system is OK. lf the indicator does not function properly,
use the PGM Tester SRS Menu Method to read the DTC
(see page 23-23). lf this doesn't retrieve any codes, use
the Tester's SCS menu method (see page 23-24). lf you
still cannot retrieve a code, go to SRS Indicator Circuit
Troubleshooting.

Airbag Disposal
Special Tool Required
Deployment tool 07HAz-SG00500
Before scrapping any airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioners (including
those in a whole vehicle to be scrapped), the airbags,
side airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt buckle
tensioners must be deployed. lf the vehicle is still within
the warranty period, the Honda District Service
Manager must give approval and/or special instruction
before deploying the airbags, side airbags, seat belt
tensioners, or seat belt buckle tensioners. Only after the
airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, or seat belt
buckle tensioners have been deployed (as the result of
vehicle collision, for example), can they be scrapped.
lf the airbags, side airbags, seat belt tensioners, and
seat belt buckle tensioners appear intact (not deployed),
treat them with extreme caution. Follow this Drocedure.
Deploying Airbags in the Vehicle
lf an SRS equipped vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its
airbags, side airbags. seat belt tensioners. and seat belt
buckle tensioners should be deoloved while still in the
vehicle. The airbags, side airbags, seat belttensioners,
and seat belt buckle tensioners should not be
considered as salvageable parts and should never be
installed in another vehicle.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF, then disconnect the
battery negative cable, and wait at least 3 minutes.
2. Confirm that each airbag, side airbag, or seat belt
tensioner is securely mounted.
3. Conf irm that the specia I tool isfunctioning properly
by following the check procedure on the tool label.
