How do you reset a 2002 crv srs light?

Try http://hondatech.info/downloads/AutoTry http://hondatech.info/downloads/Auto for free downloads of Honda Service Manuals and Diagrams.How to keep SRS light off:In my case it was the battery: Battery was old. Take it to the car shop and have it tested under a load. Indicator might show blue = good battery but it still might be bad. Changed my battery out, reset the SRS light using the jumper wire method seen on the web and this fixed the problem. SRS light came on due to irregular voltage from bad battery. It was time to change out the battery anyways. Noticed map lights and headlight flickering during idle = bad battery or alternator. SRS light is still off on my car.

Why is my brake light and battery light is showing on my Daewoo Leganza?

Check your alternator, Mine did the exact thing. The Battery light and the !!BRAKE!! Light came on and couldn'y figure it out for the hell of me, did volt tests while running and only had 12.5 volts on the battery. I changed the alternator ($179.99) and got back to the normal 14 or so volts while running and lights shut off. no idea why the brake light was on at all.


Why my 94 Nissan sentra brake and battery light came on still on what does that mean?

Why is your maitenance required light on in a 1994 Acura Integra?

Has your timing belt been changed? From what I understand, the car automatically turns on the light every 60,000 miles (the recommended interval between timing belt changes). I changed mine well after the light came on (it came on while the previous owner still had it) and the belt was long overdue. Also, when you do change it, you have to manually reset the light.


Will check engine light go off after I drive awhile since it came on after the battery was changed?

Replacing the battery should not have triggered the check engine light. The check engine light comes on when there is a problem with the emission system. Saying that, I would drive it for a while to see if the light does go out. If the light does not go out have the ECU scanned to retrieve the trouble code. Then use this code to diagnose the problem.


What does it mean if after you had the battery changed on a 2003 Chevy Impala LS the air bag light came on?

Changing the battery should have no bearing on the SRS light, and it may just be a coincidence. Regardless, do not attempt to repair the SRS. Working on this system can cause serious injury. Take it to a professional, as something is wrong with the system.
