AcuraImport ... euh concecinaire.. i means the dealer lol..
why was the srs light on... well i bought the car with srs light on... 2weeks later the check engine went on too.. i brough the car to the acura dealer. they fixed the check engine pb.. but for the srs light they didn't do something.. they have just reset something.. (i think u guyz call it 'ecu' i have no idea of what is it).. anyway they told me if the light will turn on again .. bring us the car and we will replace all the srs system ! (pfff 1200$ for a simple ligth).. well.. the light didn,t turn on untill i have touched the programmation of my alarm system... i did a reset on my alarm (by pressing the Program bouton on the antenna) i was trying to program the shock sensor too.. any way . by all theses operations . the srs light went on ! : ( ah by the way i have installed my sound system too.. no light went on (i deplugged the batterie too) .. a guy in this site said to another persn that the way to reset the 'ecu' was to remove the 7.5A fuse under the hood.. (he said it was the back-up fuse) i did that.. i saw a 7.5A but the light didn,t went off (maybe its the wrong fuse) (that was for an aucra 3.5RL, mine is teg96RS) .. .. is there another way to reset the 'ecu' ?.. well thats it.. if u can give me an idea of my pb i will appreciate that : ) (anything u know!) thx .. and take care.. peace (is my pb clear now for u ? : P)

ah.. the acura dealer has reset the srs system (or ecu.. dunno if im talking about the same thing) twice... the first was when i brough the car for the 'check engine' light and 'srs light' .. the seconde time was when the alarm sys dealer installed the alarm sys.. the light went on again.. my father brough the car at the acura dealer.. they did the reset and told him to bring it again if the light will turn on (1200$ for replacing all the srs sys lol)

hey.. i wanna know if theses instructions in this link below r safe to do! i mean if someone has already done it before.. u can answer me
is there a chance that the airbags will explose ??
here is the link
I there sorry for the delay... work work work. It never ends
Anyways, Your ECU is the computer that controls and monitors most everything on your car. The guys over at superhonda are talking about reseting the light when there isn't anything wrong with your SRS. You might have messed something up when your were programming your alarm there is no way for me to know. But your SRS light would wait 2 months to come back on if there was something wrong. So you might just need to reset the light.
If you want to try that reset procedure you can. However there is always a risk of it exploding. To avoid accidental deployment, disconnect the driver's and front passanger's airbag connectors (automatically shorted) before working near any SRS wiring.
If it just needs to be reset then reseting it will fix your problem but if not the SRS light will stay on. There is a number of things that it could be.
I could give you the diagonistic proceedure if your can tell me what DTC code you have stored (it should be something like 8-5). There are a number of things that could be wrong and it requires a special indicator to get the DTC code. Your Dealer would be able to tell you what's wrong (findout the DTC). They usually charge alot, but you might get lucky.
NOTE: Whenever the ignition switch is on, or has been turned OFF for less than 3 minutes be careful not to bump the SRS unit. It could accidentally deploy. _________________ If you feel like you're in control, you're not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti
