I've used that before on an Accord and a Prelude. It works.

sooo if you have seats and a steering wheel, does this keep the light off?

airbag light

what happens if the airbag light is on? if 1 bag is missing/disabled will the other bags still function properly?

so it's 100% for the uk version (only 2004)
NOT 100% for usdm

try not using fancy math jargon like "100%".....instead just state that it worked on YOUR car not every car in the universe and let the reader come to there on conclusions

No, this'll just reset the light. If you're still missing the airbag, the light will come right back on.

Sure . . . if you don't mind doing this procedure every time you want to drive your car.

If you remove an airbag and want to keep the warning light from coming on, you need to trick the computer into thinking the airbag is still there. So take a multimeter and measure the resistance for the airbag that you've disconnected. Then go to radioshack and find a resistor that matches - and use that resistor to trick the computer into thinking there's still an airbag there.

Please note: I'm not advocating doing this, just saying that if you wanted to, that's how you'd go about it. Playing around with a multi-meter around an airbag can be DANGEROUS.

As far as I know, this is standard procedure for resetting the airbag light in every Honda that has them . . .

Srs, airbag, maintenance required lights reset free

Here is some helpful info.

The following site is one that I always use. They have FREE instruction videos to reset your srs, airbag, maintenance required, brake and other lights. Instead of paying a dealer hourly you can find info for FREE without using a scanner. Another cool thing they have is new parts from the dealer with up to 40% discount. Check it out.

2009 Honda Fit airbag light reset.

Hi, Anyone knows how to reset the airbag light on a 2009 Honda Fit? I looked under the dash for the yellow MES connector, as posted in other threads, but there's no yellow connector there. Thanks for any help.

My GD has the yellow connector in the fusebox area, it wasn't hard to find. I'd be surprised if the GE's was much different . . . but I've never looked in one.

Hi-Trying to reset the SRS light on a 1996 Honda Fit. I am trying to find the yellow connector. There are loads of connectors which are plugged into my fuse panel. However, none are hanging down loose.

Secondly, my car is a Japanese import with a radio set up for the Japanese market. Is there any way of resetting the radio for the European market? I wonder if anyone can help? Thanks

Old thread. But yes. This does work to reset the airbags on an 07 USDM Fit. Though I am still having problems getting resistors to properly bypass the airbags after installing my Type R Recaro's.

I unplugged the battery, let sit for half an hour. Installed my Recaro's, put 5 watt 2.2 ohm resistors in the seat side airbags plugs, connected all other remaining plugs back how they were, connected the battery, reset the airbags, reconnected the MES plug, started car and the light came back on.
