Hi All
Struggling a bit with this one. Its a good customer that has taken this vehicle over from his mother. The SRS lamp was on when she had the vehicle and Honda told her it needs a new ECU
Codes read with Multiscan
15-01 Occupant position detection unit failure
15-02 Occupant position detection system indicator light failure
If you clear the codes the SRS light will stay off for about 4 days then come back on
The seat belt warning light comes on with the ignition and goes off when seat belt is connected
I have spoken to Honda and they say that this model does not have a seat occupancy sensor (drivers side) the only thing that will detect someone in the seat is the switch in the seat belt stalk, which we have replaced. The SRS lamp came back on 4 days later
Any ideas? I do not really want to send them back to Honda, but it's looking that way
I don't think this fault is for a seat occupancy sensor but more a seat position sensor similar to late renaults etc.This,as you may already be aware,lets the srs ecu know how close the seat is to the airbag/s to control how much the airbag inflates in an accident. These sensors,if like the renault ones, are easily dislodged off by rough use of vacuum cleaners under seats or debris in the seat runners. Also, asyou may of tried already,try disconnecting underseat plugs and spraying electricalcleaner on them. HTH,Gary
Thanks for the reply, had a good look under the seat again today and only one small loom that splits to the seat belt stalk and out to the side impact sensor
So looking more like an ECU fault
The customer has now picked the car up and is going to think about what to do next
Many thanks to Andrew Y for the phone call and offer, much appreciated
