Civic Hatchback L4-1.6L SOHC (16 Valve) (1996)
Malfunction Lamp / Indicator: Description and Operation
Self-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS unit; when the ignition switch is turned ON (II), the SRS indicator light comes on and goes off after about
six seconds if the system is operating normally.
If the light does not come on, or does not go off after six seconds, or if it comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormality in the system. The system
must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
For better serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit passes on the information from the memory to the
data link connector (DLC). This information can be read with the Honda PGM Tester connected to the DLC (16P).
