Check out these sites, although probably just needs reset at Honda dealer. If there are parts required source then elsewhere ( will be much cheaper than dealership ) your local auto store maybe.

Hope this helps

Your vehicle does not require a scan tool for the proper diagnosis. Here's a site that will explain everything you need to know about airbag lights and resetting the system. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing.

Airbagsolutions.com has the fault code charts to tell you what is wrong!

This website gives you the procedure for diagnosing and resetting airbag lights. See if your car is listed here. Although it’s a pay site ($14.95/day), it’s a lot cheaper than going to the dealer

On most vehicles, the airbag light should come on for @6 seconds, and then go off if the system is working properly. If there is a fault or a problem in the system, the light will remain illuminated, or flash continuously. If the airbag light does not work properly, some vehicles have an audible tone that sounds indicating a problem with the airbag light system. When the light is on (or the tone is sounding), the airbag will NOT deploy, even in an accident.

The flashing light on your car is telling there is a problem. On some vehicles, the light is flashing a two digit code.

Some vehicle manufacturers accommodate systems without a scanner (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) .

Most all other vehicles require a scan tool for the diagnosis.

I agree with Hyundai Guru's answer, and will add one other thing. Since the Tiburon has side impact airbags in the seats, check that the plug under the seat hasn't come disconnected somehow. Just peek under there, you should see a bright yellow wire and a plug under the seat (SRS wiring is always shrouded in bright yellow plastic so you know NOT to mess with it). Just check to make sure it's plugged in. I've pulled the seats out of my Tib a few times, and as soon as you unplug the seats the SRS light comes on and stays on until you plug it back in again.

your light could be simply down to a loose wire. if there are no loose wires start checking igniters and sensors if this doesnt work try an get the ecu plugged into a diagnostics pc get them to test for electrical faults if no faults come up wipe the error codes this might refresh the system :).

there is a problem with srs system you cant reset light unless you fix the problem honda tech 12yrs.

Take that **** to your local honda dealer, and don't just take their word on it. Bring it to a couple dealers and see what they all have to say.

crash your car into something.
