CR-V parts and mail-in service

Honda CR-V airbags, seat belts, and SRS unit reset

No CR-V parts are listed at this time. Submit a part request with the year and VIN, fifth generation or sixth, and we will check availability and contact you when a match is confirmed. Mail-in service runs separately, so mail the original SRS unit for a reset and the belts for repair.

SRS Unit (Airbag Control Module)

Why the CR-V airbag light stays on after a crash

Honda calls the CR-V airbag computer the SRS unit, the control module for the supplemental restraint system. It is a small square unit with two yellow connectors at the front. It reads the impact sensors, fires the airbags and pretensioners in a crash, and writes a permanent deployment record into its own memory along with the system's fault history.

Once that record is written, the SRS unit locks and the airbag light stays on. A standard scan tool cannot clear it because the hard codes live inside the unit. Whether your CR-V deployed one airbag or several, the unit has the crash on file and will not arm again until the data is cleared at the module level.

We reset your original CR-V SRS unit in our shop, erase the stored crash data and hard codes, and return it factory-ready to plug back in. You keep the part Honda built for your CR-V. It holds its original VIN-matched coding and arms again the moment it is reinstalled.

CR-V by generation

CR-V generations and where the SRS unit lives

The CR-V has run through several generations, and the SRS unit stayed behind or under the center console on the floor. We reset every one from 1996 forward.

GenerationYearsModule location
1st gen1997 to 2001Behind the center console on the floor, under two small plastic panels
2nd gen2002 to 2006Behind the center console directly below the radio, bolted to the floor
3rd gen2007 to 2011Under the center console on the floor, below the radio
4th gen2012 to 2016Under the center console on the floor pan
5th / 6th gen2017 to presentBelow the center console on the floor, two yellow connectors

On a CR-V you remove the center console pieces to reach the unit, then unbolt it from the floor. Honda is strict about timing. Turn the ignition off, disconnect both battery cables, and wait at least three minutes before you touch the SRS, because the airbags and pretensioners can still deploy for about three minutes after the power comes off. Call us if yours is hard to find on your year.

Common CR-V SRS codes

CR-V airbag codes we clear every day

Honda uses its own internal SRS fault codes and B-series body codes on the CR-V. Deployment and crash-data codes clear with a reset. Some point to a part. Scan yours first.

What we fix on your CR-V

Module reset and seat belts, by mail

We do two repairs for the CR-V. We reset the original SRS unit and clear the stored crash data so the airbag light goes out. We also rebuild the CR-V seat belts, because after a deployment the pretensioners fire, lock, and the webbing can seize. We restore single, dual, and triple-stage CR-V belts and free locked retractors so they hold the way Honda built them to.

We are honest about the limits. A module reset clears stored crash data. It is an electronics repair, so your CR-V has to be mechanically safe and properly repaired before the system goes back in service. If a code points to a damaged part rather than stored data, we tell you.

Why CR-V owners mail it to Arkansas

CR-V owners usually find us after the dealer quotes a full module replacement. We reset the unit you already have, including the 5th and 6th gen units with the two yellow connectors under the console, so the VIN coding never changes. Crash data cleared, honest turnaround, up to 80% saved.
