2000 Accord EX 4cyl SRS light on steady, but no DTC

Yes, I think so. But cannot be certain yet as I've never had them out.

So the torquing I see going on with the boot is not a problem?

Once again, thanks Tegger.

 

IF the bolt assemblies are like the pictures I referenced, then either
1) it's just the pins rotating slightly, which will stop once the pin head
flat sits right up against its receiving lip on the caliper, or
2) the pins are not seated properly, in which case the last tech messed up.

You should see no movement of the boots outside of the slight pin rotation.

You're welcome, but I really think you should get down and have a really
good look at the assembly. Otherwise both of us may be wasting time.

 

that was my point...

 

Excellent point! Thanks Jim.

Roger that. I took Jim Beam's tip and just removed the bracket mounting
bolts. It took a little wiggling and fiddling to get the caliper/pads
back over the rotor on reassembly but it worked fine that way. Also
avoided removing the caliper bolts.

Thanks again everybody.

Jim

 

But at some point in the future you will end up having to remove the
caliper from the mount bracket, no? By that time, your seized bolts may be
even more seized.

And besides, your parking brake cable will make handling the caliper/mouint
bracket assembly a bit awkward unless you unhook the cable from the caliper
first.

 

True enough.

Yes it did.

 

This is good advice as I don't think a generic OBD scan will communicate with
Honda SRS.

If you want to flash the SRS DTCs do this:
1. Turn ignition switch off.
2. Ground pin 9 (brown wire) at the 16p DLC connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch to run (II)
4. Watch the SRS indicator (red) after a few seconds it should start flashing a
pattern.
5. To finish turn ignition switch off; remove the ground wire.

Either post the flash pattern or email results to me.
