SRS Crash Event Data Stored

on 2002 Acura RL 3.5L V6 · AWD

What this code means

The SRS control module has recorded a crash deployment event. The module stores crash data when airbags or pretensioners have been deployed.

Symptoms

  • Airbag warning light on
  • SRS system disabled
  • Deployed airbags visible
  • Pretensioners fired

Common causes

  • Vehicle was in a crash with airbag deployment
  • Pretensioner deployment occurred
  • Electrical spike mimicked crash signal

Diagnostic steps

  1. Read crash event data from ACM
  2. Inspect all deployed restraint components
  3. Check for structural damage
  4. Document deployment status of all devices

Repair notes

Replace ACM after crash event. Module cannot be reused once crash data is stored. Replace all deployed airbags and pretensioners.

⚠ STILL BEHIND THE PAYWALL
The 2002 Acura RL repair data is incomplete because no one has sponsored it yet. For $99, we generate the full step-by-step procedures, then fact-check them with a second AI pass and your expert review. Your name on every procedure, permanently.
The same data would cost $169/mo from Mitchell1 or $30/year from ALLDATAdiy — and you'd be renting access, not freeing it. Sponsor once, free forever.
