SRS Unit Update
2-Door
Special Tools Required
• Honda diagnostic system (HDS) tablet tester
• Honda interface module (HIM) and an iN workstation
with HDS and CM update software
• HDS pocket tester
• GNA600 and an iN workstation with HDS and CM
update software
(Any one of the update tools above will work.)
NOTE:
• Use this procedure when you need to update the SRS
unit at any time.
• Make sure the HDS/HIM has the latest software
version.
• Before you update the SRS unit, make sure the
battery in the vehicle is fully charged.
• Never turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0) or ACC (I)
during the update. If there is a problem with the
update, leave the ignition switch in ON (II).
• To prevent SRS unit damage, do not operate
anything electrical (headlights, audio system, brakes,
A/C, power windows, moonroof (if equipped), door
locks, etc.) during the update.
• To ensure the latest program is installed, do an SRS
unit update whenever the SRS unit is replaced.
• You cannot update an SRS unit with a program it
already has. It will only accept a new program.
• If you need to diagnose the HIM because the HIM's
red ( 3) light came on or was flashed during the ＃
update, leave the ignition switch in the ON (II)
position when you disconnect the HIM from the data
link connector (DLC). This will prevent SRS unit
damage.
1. Connect the HDS to the DLC (A).

3. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle
and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate,
troubleshoot the DLC circuit (see page 11-208).
4. Select the update program, and follow the screen
prompts to update the SRS unit.
5. If the software in the SRS unit is the latest,
disconnect the HDS/HIM from the DLC, and go back
to the procedure that you were doing. If the
software in the SRS unit is not the latest, follow the
instructions on the screen.
NOTE: If you run into a problem during the update
procedure (programming takes over 15 minutes,
status bar goes over 100 %, D or immobilizer light
flashes, HDS tablet freezes, etc.), follow these steps
to minimize the chance of damaging the SRS unit :
• Leave the ignition switch in the ON (II) position.
• Connect a jumper battery (do not connect a
battery charger).
• Shut down the HDS.
• Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
• Reboot the HDS.
• Reconnect the HDS to the DLC, and try the
update procedure again.
6. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0).
7. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
