On the dashboard of my hunda cr-v, 2002 model, when i turn on the engine the letters SRS come on, stay for a few seconds and go off. I do not remember seeing this before. as i have no manul and bought the car 2 months ago, I would like to know what SRS means. please and thank you

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

Legend of Abbreviations. ABS Antilock brake system.TCS Traction control system, TCM Transmission control module, SRS Supplemental restraint system, BCM Body control module

Unfortunately, the only way you can clear codes on a post 1996 car is to have a scanner. You can either get the error cleared at a local shop where most of the time they will do it for free. If not, you should be able to buy a hand scanner from a local parts store like NAPA. Unfortunately, the latter solution is pricey.

check for bad fuse under the hood or dash

the SRS stands for Supplemental Restraint System. Most people call it the air bags but the SRS system includes all of the sensors and control units for air bags, seat belt pre-tensioners and passenger detection systems on cars that are equiped with themeach time you start the car up the SRS control unit will do a self-test of the system to make sure all of the sensors are working properly. The SRS light will stay on while that test is conducted. If all is well and everything passes the on-board test the light will go out in about 7 seconds. If something is wrong the light will stay on.whenever a failure is detected for any reason,the SRS light is turned on and the system is shut off. The air bags will not be deployed when the SRS light is on.They call it a Supplemental Restraint System because your seat belts are your primary restraint system.

srs means secondary restraint system. e.g air bags and things like that. when it stays on for a few seconds its because it is doing a systems check. if the light stays on all the time then there is a problem. hope i helped.

you need to take it to volvo dealer to reset the light srs detects low battery voltage and turns on the light

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is definitely something you want working. Those airbags can be a lifesaver in an accident. Take it back to the Dealer and tell them it wasn't broke before they worked on you car, it's broke now after they worked on it, and stress how much of a Liability this might be. Okay, okay... just ask them to fix it because you would like to have it in case you are involved in an accident. My Civic's Service Repair Manual (from Honda), says Take it To Your Dealer (see below)
===========================================
All SRS electrical wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation. Related components are located in the steering column, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, and in the dashboard above the glove box.
Do not use electrical equipment on these circuits.

-WARNING
To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could lead to personal iniury or death in the event ol severe frontal collision, all SRS service work must be pertormed by an authorized Honda dealer

Ok,
1. ensure ignition off
2 . bridge the 2 pin connector, Put a piece of wire across both terminals
3.switch ignition on
4. SRS lamp should illuminate for 6 seconds
5.disconnect the bridge wire within 4 seconds of the warning lamp extinguishing
6.SRS lamp should illuminate 2 times, Codes erased
7.switch ignition off
8 Wait 10 seconds. switch ignition on and check SRS warning lamp operation.
hope this helps

I watched a video on resetting the airbag indicator for HONDA civic. It seems a simple thing to do. have a look at the video. It may be helpful.

SRS stands for supplemental restraint system. You have a problem with the airbag system. The seat belts have sensors to let air bag module know if they are buckled. Could be a bad buckle seat belt will work fine .This may be a common problem is why they said seatbelt problem
