Why This Matters
An illuminated Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) light indicates a potential issue with your vehicle's airbag system. This warning light signals that the airbags or seat belt pretensioners may not deploy correctly in a collision, significantly increasing the risk of injury. Honda is actively investigating specific conditions related to the SRS light on 2023 Honda CR-V and HR-V models.
Symptoms
Owners of affected 2023 Honda CR-V and HR-V vehicles will notice the SRS light on their dashboard. This warning indicates a fault within the airbag system, prompting the need for immediate attention from a qualified service center.
Fault Codes / DTCs
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) is specifically interested in vehicles that have one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) stored in the system:
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| B0001-12 | Short to Power in Driver's Airbag Primary Inflator |
| B0002-12 | Short to Power in Driver's Airbag Secondary Inflator |
| B0001-13 | Open or Increased Resistance in the Driver's Airbag Primary Inflator |
| B0002-13 | Open or Increased Resistance in the Driver's Airbag Secondary Inflator |
| B0001-1A | Decreased Resistance in the Driver's Airbag Primary Inflator |
| B0002-1A | Decreased Resistance in the Driver's Airbag Secondary Inflator |
These codes point to various electrical issues within the driver's side airbag inflator circuits, which could compromise the airbag's functionality.
Diagnosis and Trigger Conditions
Honda's investigation focuses on specific conditions that trigger the Honda CR-V SRS light and related DTCs. For a vehicle to be considered for part collection, the issue must be traced to either the airbag unit itself or the cable reel. It is acceptable if the cable reel or airbag has been previously replaced, provided this is disclosed. Repeated failures are also acceptable, as are confirmed corroded or damaged airbag pins, as long as the failure is currently present.
Crucially, the vehicle must not have been involved in a collision, and no repair attempt for this specific issue should have been made during the current service visit. These criteria help Honda gather unaltered components to better understand the root cause of the Honda CR-V SRS light problem.
