Side airbag cutoff indicator does not come on

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, find out if the vehicle was in a collision. If so, verify that all the required components were replaced with new components, of the correct part number, and that they were properly installed ( see COMPONENT REPLACEMENT/INSPECTION AFTER DEPLOYMENT ).
If the SRS indicator also stays on, go to SRS indicator stays on, but no DTCs are stored (see SRS INDICATOR STAYS ON, BUT NO DTCS ARE STORED, OR CANNOT BE READ ).
Before replacing the SRS unit, check the SRS unit software version with the HDS. If the software version is not the latest, update the SRS unit software (see SRS UNIT UPDATE ), and retest.

Turn the ignition switch to LOCK(0), then wait for 10 seconds.
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), and check that the SRS indicator comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off.
Does the side airbag cutoff indicator come on?

YES -Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Go to Troubleshooting Intermittent Failures (see TROUBLESHOOTING INTERMITTENT FAILURES ). If another DTC is indicated, troubleshoot the DTC.

NO -Go to step 3.
Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC) (see DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES) ).
Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see DLC CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING ).
Do the gauge control module self diagnostic function (see SELF-DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTION ).
Does the side airbag cutoff indicator come on?

YES -Faulty SRS unit; replace the SRS unit (see SRS UNIT REPLACEMENT ).

NO -Faulty gauge control module; replace the gauge control module (see GAUGE CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT ).
