The SRS light came on and stayed on while driving, which per the owner manual indicated a failure in the air bag and seat belts. If the vehicle was in an accident these components will not function. Dealership will be contacted.
9/28/04 - on this day I have taken my 2001 honda civic ex to the dealer for the 5th time to deal with the side air bag warning light coming on. Over the first 4 times they have reinitialized the system and replaced the computer component. They informed me they were on the phone with their "tech support" people all morning. The only solution they could come up with is to replace the seat back. I am very concerned about this safety feature as it could lead to myself or a passenger being seriously hurt or killed in a crash. Please check into this, as I have notice there are other complaints about this on the website.
Srs warning light went on after car was parked at work all day. (also shortly after work was done on my car for the headlamp recall) called honda dealer to make appt and asked if airbags would be working if light was on and was told yes. Took it to honda dealer for repair. They reset it. $80 diagnostic charge. Approx 2.5 days later, the SRS warning light came on. Called dealer to complain. They said they have to replace the sensor for approx $400. Took it to honda dealer for repair. Got call from dealer as car was being worked on. The repair will require two sensors and $800. Was told while warning light is on, my airbags don't work.
After being involved in an accident whereby the front end of the vehicle rear ended another at approximately 40 MPH. The passenger side air bag deployed, the driver side did not. The seat belt retractor gave way and the consumers body was thrown forward.
I was driving on the mass pike at approximately 65 MPH and when traffic slowed in front of me I was unable to stop quickly enough. I squarely rear-ended the car in front of me and the airbags did not deploy. The SRS light was not on prior to the accident. I was wearing my seatbelt, but sustained severe neck and back injuries from the accident. The autobody expert who fixed my vehicle reported that the airbags should have gone off. Also, honda america told me there is nothing they can do about it and if the SRS light is not on constantly, the airbags are functioning properly, which is obviously not true.
2001 honda civic ex, SRS light stays on. Code 15-3. Opd system sensor was replaced 9/21/01 under warranty. Light went back on a short time later. Someone in the service department told my daughter that it was nothing to worry about, because this light sometimes went on for no reason. Unfortunately, he did not explain that the airbags are disabled when this light is on. She has been driving it with the light on since 2001. (she assumed it was only a dummy light, like "maintenance required"). Yesterday, I took it to the dealership and they charged $79 to diagnose the same problem, and want $810 dollars to replace the sensor, since it is no longer under warranty. This morning, I did a little research on the internet (www.autofan.com/forum) and found that this is a known issue with honda, and that there are many other honda civic owners with the same problem. In addition, it seems as if a new sensor will not solve the problem, since other owners report additional failures even when the original sensor is replaced. I am very concerned, I consider this a serious safety issue.
Upon cold start, the SRS light began to illuminate and remained on without the vehicle being involved in an accident. Please provided additional information.
The side air bag light was on. The vehicle had been serviced by replacing the seat sensor. But, problem still existed.
While going about 40mph hit brakes and they locked up which caused me to slide into the car in front of me which was at a complete stop which then also caused me to slam against the stering wheel which broke all of the front dash because of such hard impact from my body my airbag did not deploy which caused neck and back injuries also had some deep gashes from my forhead to my ankles. If I had a airbag deploy I may not have been so injured why my brakes locked I don't know!
During the past 1 1/2 years SRS light came on and stayed on 5 times for my 2001 honda civic ex. The dealership has given me a story from cell phones to bags on the passenger seat. It has had to go back to the dealership everytime. I have noted on your website numerous reports of this problem on honda civics. I believe a recall should be made for safety measures. A failing airbag can cost someone their lives.

During my sons vehicle accident (head on with pine tree) the air bags failed. I contacted the manurfacturer and the insurance companies. They both say that the other company is responsible for determining the problem with the failure. Since it seems to me that it will require an engineer to determine the failure mode, this would be the manurfacture's issue. However they say no and will not provide any further assistance or any written document stating their position. Can you provide the information on who is responsible?
Intermittently while driving SRS sensor light comes on, which disables the air bags. Dealership is unable to identify the cause of the failure, but they have reset the device three times. But, failure still exists.
While driving at 40 MPH consumer's vehicle crashed into the back of a sport utility vehicle. Driver's side front clipped the right rear section of the vehicle in front. Consumer was wearing seat belts but the belt did not lock. Also, upon impact,air bags did not deploy. Consumer sustained neck and shoulder injuries due to striking the steering wheel. Consumer was cited for failure to control the vehicle.
2001 honda civic SRS light is illuminated. The dealership has inspected and reset three times. The first time they claimed that my purse, which I sometimes put on the seat, must be too heavy. The second time they replaced the battery on a car with less than 8,000 miles. The third time they insisted that I must be putting articles heavier than 10 pounds on the seat. I have been careful about leaving the seat clear. The light came on within a couple of weeks of the last reset.
The driver was unable to place anything over 80 pounds on the passenger seat. If this happens the SRS light appeared on the dashboard and remained on until the mechanic reset it. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that it was designed that way. The mechanic has reset it over five times and the problem still occurs at this time.
While driving at 65 MPH, the consumer lost control of the vehicle and hit a guardrail head on. The consumer stated,that both frontal air bags failed to deploy upon impact. The consumer sustained injuries as a result of the crash. Please provide any other details.
The SRS light for the front seat passenger side airbag comes on. When it is on, the airbag will not work. I have brought it into the honda dealership 3 times previously. Twice they reset the light, the third time they replaced the module. The light stayed off for a short while, but has since come back on. If someone is sitting in the passenger seat the light goes off. If no one is in the passenger seat the light comes on. Today my car is back at the honda dealership and they are looking at trying to fix it. Looking at the other reports here, this appears to be a problem that should be researched and a recalled issued as it is a safety issue.
While driving the SRS appears on the dashboard and remains on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The dealer informed that the clock spring need to be replaced. The problem still occurs. Please provide further details.
Consumer's vehicle was involved in a head on collision while driving between 30-35 MPH. Upon impact, only the passenger side air bag deployed. Driver sustained severe sternum bruises when coming in contact with the steering wheel.
My honda civic (2001 ex) has been into the dealer approximately 5 times since it was purchased for a problem with the SRS light remaining on. This has occurred with or without items on the front seat of the passenger side of the car. Each time the problem was fixed, the SRS light would come back on within days, weeks or months. I am concerned that there is a serious flaw in the design of the airbag system, which could result in a potentially fatal or serious injury, should the car be involved in an accident.
I have taken my 2001 honda civic hx to the dealer on multiple times to have the SRS light repaired. The first time they reset the light and it came back on in a couple of days. The second time they stated that the opds was malfunctioning probably due to aftermarket electronics (cell phone, radio, etc). The light came back on the same day. They stated that the module would have to be replaced and is not covered by my extended warranty. With the light on my air bags will not work.
I was hit directly on both driver side doors and no air bags deployed. Due to this malfunction I sustained head and neck injuries. During the period I leased the car the SRS light came on a number of times. I reported it to my dealer first he said dont worry next he said it was the way I was sitting on the seat.
When backing the vehicle out of parking lot and without warning vehicle accelerated, lost control and hit a pole. Driver put vehicle in drive, then the it accelerated, causing the vehicle to hit a parked car head on. Upon impact, both front airbags did not deploy.
I bought a used 2001 honda civic from premiere motorcars of santa fe in nov. Of 2002. The car had the SRS light on and needed new clips for the sun roof. They were fixed before I brought the car home. Approximately one month after I bought the car I was parked at raleys supermarket when an individual drivig a truck hit the passenger side of my bumper. When I took the car to be fixed, the repair shop told me that there was prior damage to my radiator. I had to pay an additional $1000 to fix everything. I was showed the prior damage before the repair shop fixed it; some of my bumper was actually taped together from the inside, it was not visible at all from the outside. When I told santa fe premiere about this they insisted that I had done the damage. Since then my SRS light has gone on about 5 times and each time I take it to the dealer to have it fixed I am told that they cannot find anything wrong so they just reset the light. The mantenience required light has now been on for the past three days and I am uncomfortable with the work done at santa fe premiere motors. My car had to have been in a bad car accident before I bought it.
My parents were driving in a 2001 honda civic in cleveland, ohio. They were driving on icy roads on freeway and car next to them lost control, slamming both cars head on into concrete wall median. The air bags never went off. Then the car kept spinning and slid across road and hit guard rail on other side of road and again the air bags never went off.
