I work at a Honda dealership in el Paso TX. we use a pgm or the hdt for
diagnosing alot of things, there are self tests on the computers that we get
alot of info on. the srs system is one of those complex systems in which we
love using our tools on, its easy and efficient. a person risks damaging an
srs system trying to diagnose systems themselves. a person might even set
off an airbag. take it to the dealer. leave it to the pros.
