The srs warning light stays on all the time when the car is running for my 1999 honda odyssey lx. it was sent to the dealer and had dt code 1-1. further check by the dealer in the second visit resulted in the diagnosis for "cable reel replacement" in the steering wheel. the charge for the initial diagnostics was $95 plus tax and the charge for parts and labor for the replacement of cable reel will be another $250. the cable reel in the steering wheel should not be damaged by normal driving for a vehicle at 54k miles. it has to be due to the bad design and/or manufacturing. the airbag system is an important safety feature and should be under factory warranty for an extended period of time. ironically, if the safety belt is malfunctioning and causes the srs light on, honda has a lifetime warranty for the repair and diagnosis cost. one can think that the seat belt may be damaged through normal or excessive usage. how could a driver damage the cable reel in the steering wheel when the airbag is never deployed? *tr
