Resetting SRS light on 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 Honda Accord:
(1) Locate MES Plug. It should be located near the driver's side fuse panel under the dash. The harness is yellow with two wires.
(2) Unplug the MES Plug.
(3) Insert one end of wire into MES Plug (one wire in each contact)
(4) Follow this sequence of shorting the other two leads of the wire/clip and turning the ignition to "on" (not accessory, not start)
-Short and hold the leads while you turn the ignition to on. The SRS Light will illuminate for a few seconds then go off.
-When the SRS Light goes off, unshort the wires. The SRS Light will come back on.
-Short and hold the wires again. The SRS Light will go off.
-When the SRS Light goes off, unshort the wires. The SRS Light will blink twice.
-Turn the ignition off.
-Start engine as normal. The SRS Light should illuminate for a couple of seconds as normal and then go off.
(4a) This series of shorting/unshorting needs to take place within a 4 second window of the SRS Light going on/off each time.

The internet is useful because people like you exist. Thanks for helping people.

@jkvv2006 5 лет назад

thanks it worked! I needed an extra person to look at the srs light while I was down below plugging the paper clip in and out...took 3 tries to get it right coz you had to be quick and coordinated with your helper...went straight for safety inspectiion after that and passed...im in VA...car was an 01 Accord 2dr

@Unknown90010 2 года назад

Same in VA and I know it won't pass with the light on. I'm gonna give it a shot

@kevincasey2708 Год назад

Very helpful! My SRS light came on after removing and reinstalling the instrument cluster. Going through the flow chart on Alldata, it was recommending replacing the OPDS unit. Then discovered a forum that said the light can come on when removing and reinstalling the cluster. In the forum, the gentleman said to jump the two wire, yellow connector, but there are two of them. I spent a good 10 minutes, trying to remove the bigger of the two, with no success. Your video showed me that it was actually the smaller one. Reset worked ! I didn’t jump them until after turning the key on. I found that having them already connected, before turning the key on, did not work, but when I turned the key on, and then jumped it, it worked perfectly. It was difficult poking the ends of the wire into the tiny pin holes. I cut a cotter pin in half and put the two pieces in the respective holes, then attached two alligator clipped jumper wires to each one.

@ElementFreedive Год назад

Solution if you are by yourself. 1. Short the wires. 2. Turn ignition 3. wait 7 seconds and disconnect 4. reconnect after 2-3 seconds 5. Disconnect after 2 seconds and you are done!

I just reset my SRS light on my 2000 Honda Accord EX using this procedure. I used 2 conductor speaker wire and I stripped the ends from one end and inserted those ends into the MES connector. I then stripped the other ends and held them together while turning the key on. After second time, SRS blinked twice then went off. I have only driven about 16 miles, but the light is still off. Thank you!

@jsollien127 8 лет назад

Many many thanks! It worked great (after replacing belt buckle). 1. Short terminals, turn ignition on (not start), lights go out. 2. Disconnect and the light comes back on 3. Short and the light goes out 4. Disconnect, if the light blinks twice, done. 5. Remember to read entire video description next time. Thanks again.

@rubencontreras9570 5 лет назад

It’s worked! That light has been on for years!

@ayumig5746 3 года назад

Amazing. Worked first try. Thank you. My car failed inspection because of the SRS light being on constantly, and this was the solution. I recommend having a 2nd person watching the light while the 1st person is underneath performing the shorting on/off. Timing is important as the instructions say. 2002 honda accord.

@brianodabashian5366 6 лет назад

were you able to pass inspection with this light on ? I just got a used car and its on as well but pulls no codes from the odb2 reader.

@kickboxer8173 6 лет назад

Brian Odabashian yeah. been on for several tests.

@brianodabashian5366 6 лет назад

@brianodabashian5366 6 лет назад

@mhillaxeman 8 лет назад

Thanks! I could not see the SRS light when I used a paper clip (my head was under the dash), so I cut two lengths of electrical wire. I plugged each wire into the yellow socket and shorted the other ends (held wire ends together) and then unshorted them (disconnected the ends) as per the instructions.

@maximilianmitzkus218 Год назад

Just asking, got myself an Accord Coupe CG and replaced all the fuses on the driver side, since then the SRS light won’t go off. Tried this but the light will not go off after connecting/shorting thru the connector. It does blinkt but fast for like 4/5 times then once slow. Payed a shop to try to find the error using the OBD but they told me that the SRS Modul itself does not respond. Did I just totally destroyed my module by unplugging and plugging new fuses into? That’s my first car and I really worked hard for the money, I even tried to find a new or used SRS Modul just in case but it seems like there’s is no available. I also have a P1607 and a MIL on the dash that what my trusted shop said it’s probably a broken ECU. As I’ve said, I’ve worked my ass off for about 2 years until I had the money to buy me one of the best looking cars out there. I’m just scared that I’ve lost about 5 grands on the car without even mentioning the repairs that were already done…

@Brzsteve86 6 лет назад

Question do u connect the sts socket back in or leave it disconnected after ur reset it

@IgorKadulenkov 6 лет назад

it doesn't matter, either way. It's not intended to be connect to anything. If it's connected to a panel, it's a blank connector

@dontesantos1601 Год назад

Definitely need this for help so I can pass inspection 🤣🤣

@casadilla 5 лет назад

I tried this multiple times and it did not work. I tried it with a paper clip as you showed in the video and with some speaker wire, both did not work. I don’t know if it’s something at the end that I’m doing wrong, but after I turn the ignition off and turn it back on, the light stays on.

@e_sidera 8 лет назад

I bought the appropriate Honda MES connector, but it just doesn't want to blink twice. The first two steps were completed. What else could be the problem? I heard sensors could also be responsible so I'll be changing the only ones that's giving me problems, the O2 sensors. But what are other possibilities?

@IgorKadulenkov 8 лет назад

+Eva Sidera I am sorry Eva, i have limited knowledge about the other possible causes. My Honda SRS light was caused by disconnecting the module in passenger seat. But i have to say that i tried at least 12-15 times before i was actually able to reset it. I would recommend asking someone, who has a proper SRS system analyzer, to connect to your car and find out what the problem is before you start replacing the things.

@e_sidera 8 лет назад

Igor Kadulenkov Igor, I truly believe it's the module on my passenger seat because the side bag light turns on when someone sits there. I passed my DMV inspection so Im in no hurry to fix it. But it's definitely worth looking at. You gave me some idea so thanks for the response!

@e_sidera 8 лет назад

Igor Kadulenkov By the way, your video helped me change my oxygen sensors so many thanks!

@jicm22 8 лет назад

It didnt work for me the light never turned off while the wires were jumped... I have an after market steering wheel do you think thas why?

@IgorKadulenkov 8 лет назад

+jicm22 Hi, I myself had to repeat the procedure for like 12 times before it worked. I almost gave up. But if you do everything correctly and it's still on, i would assume you have a problem with your SRS system. I would go check that with a scanner at a dealer. You may have problems with one of the components of SRS system. Could be inflator, belt buckle or something else.

@markmagana2149 6 лет назад

I did exactly this and my SRS light stayed off for 10 seconds and then comes back on again. What am I doing wrong guys?

@113MPG 8 лет назад

Thanks. This worked on my 2000 Honda Accord EX. Once in a while the side airbag light comes on. Nobody in the passenger seat. Comes on and then goes off from time to time.

@Ottonic6 9 месяцев назад

I guess I'm going to need a new switch. I cleaned mine about 9 months ago and the light has stayed off... Until now. I will try cleaning it again, but I don't think it will help cause I know the switch isn't dirty.

@IgorKadulenkov 8 лет назад

Hey, no, you don't. in my car it's super short and attached to a fat harness of cables, so I physically won't be able to connect it to the board. But even if you could, it would not be connected to anything. That spot has no wires. It's more for protection I guess

@hectordiaz7177 8 лет назад

+Igor Kadulenkov I plugged it back on but couldn't see if it had wires, but that's good to know, thanks man it worked for me the first time but I used speaker wire instead of a paper clip, it's probably easy both ways

When this reset method works I'll let U know.

Really really useful in my case because leaving that belt buckled is gonna cut the light back on about every 300 starts, but I'd rather that than Drinks and sauces all over the car
