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 ).
- Before troubleshooting any of these DTCs, check the 12 volt battery/system voltage and battery cable connections. If the voltage is low, repair the charging system or replace the 12 volt battery before troubleshooting the SRS. If the 12 volt battery/system voltage is now OK, ask the customer if the 12 volt battery ever went dead or if the engine was started and run with the 12 volt battery in a low state of charge. A dead 12 volt battery may trigger one or more of these DTCs.
- Before doing this troubleshooting procedure, review SRS Precautions and Procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) and General Troubleshooting Information (see DTC (DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES) ).
- 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.
- Clear the DTC memory (see HOW TO CLEAR DTCS ).
- Turn the ignition switch to ON (II), then wait for 10 seconds.
- Check for DTCs with the HDS (see HOW TO RETRIEVE DTCS ).
