Srs light came on. We paid $85 for a diagnostic report. It indicated the SRS computer had failed and it will cost $850 to replace. The dealer would not fix it under the warranty. Is there a technical bulletin on this problem?
1996 Honda Odyssey airbags complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My supplement restraint system light came on about 10 days ago caused by no obvious reason. I have since discovered at the service dept. That they don't know either why it went out. I feel it is a safety issue as I am unclear how it can effect the deployment of the airbags, could they go at any time or probably not at all when needed. I found information on the internet relating to this but unfortunatley not much as far as details. On the alldata site they made reference to tsb# 00-089 and two for the accord (which a dealer told me is virtually the same car) tsb # 96-061 and 97-002. Also your site made reference to a serv. Bulletin # 000101 sequence # 103. Since my car is at the shop right now I was unable to get the exact mileage on it and had to guess as well as unable to answer some questions pertaining to belts. Please let me know if you need the exact mileage etc. And I will get that to you. I was told this part will cost me $800.00 to repair and think that is an outrageous amount and it should be a part that should last for the life of the vehicle. I think it could be potentially a dangerous situation and hope you can do something about it. Thank you for your assistance.

Srs light came on when car was started.
Air bag -- control module failure at 67000 miles. Srs light on panel indicated problem. Diagnostics showed code 6-2. Car needs control unit #06772-sx0-a70. Cost $654.00 + tax. If owner cannot afford repair, car will be driven without benefit of air bags. Power window -- driver's side front, click sound when rolling up window at 42,000 miles. Window stopped working entirely at dealer's repair facility. Regulator and motor were replaced. Power door locks -- locks would recycle when owner attempted to lock the car. Left front power door latch and actuator replaced at 42,000 miles. Engine -- owner drove the car 9 miles to work before oil indicator lamp finally came on when parking. Something in the engine failed when car started, evidence of sudden oil leak in home driveway, and oil spilled out of engine all the way to work. Engine oil completely gone. Currently under inspection for repair at an independent repair facility.
2nd incident of SRS light staying on in 11 months. Both times light reset, however the dealer recommended replacement of control unit at a cost of $750 due to code8-3 reported by computer. Declined this service due to lack of ability to confirm diagnostics. Also was told on first incident that electrical system can cause this unit to report faults -- at that time battery was recommended to be replaced. Also rumored that cell phone usage or radio transmitters can make system report faults. Need more information on these units and their failures..
