Clearing the light also made the red blinking security light on radio work for the first time since I had the car. Administrator Hey! Look At Me!! I'm a Supporting Member!!

Quote: Originally Posted by xRiCeBoYx I second this only fix is replacement then clear the code Maybe not. My '03 civic SRS light came on and with code 9-3. Searching produced this vid that describes how the little pin inside the buckle doesn't work properly anymore, probably because of dirt and grime. I followed the vid to open the buckle with a T10. Front and back of case have to come off. The little red "boot" that surrounds the pin prevents (so the vid says) contact cleaner from getting in. I really didn't want to destroy that boot so manipulated the pin WHILE spraying cleaner. Many many times. Then I did the paper clip trick to reset the light. Started the car and poof--light stays off. Now, I just did that so I don't know: I might have to go in again and this time, remove that boot. Time will tell. This vid is exactly how I did the (temporary?) fix.

[solved] Mine worked for about 4 years until the light came back on for the passenger side deflator failure, causing the code to permanently return. Can�t say for certain if 9-3 ever came back or not because I never fixed the deflator.
