SRS light indicator always ON (Red light), what needs to be done?

Hi to all,

My car is Honda Civic VTI-S/2003 model/Manual/Gas. The SRS light indicator is always ON (Red light). Normally, after engine start it automatically turns off after a few seconds. Here are my questions:

1. Does this mean that the whole Airbag (SRS) system won't work anymore?
2. Or do I just need to reset the SRS light? (Saw this video link on Youtube, simple procedure to reset the light)

Anyone who can share experience?

Thanks!

If the SRS light is always on, the airbag system is detecting a fault somewhere. It could be as simple as a loose connection somewhere. In my car, it was a faulty connection in the rotating collar connector located in the steering wheel column. When the connection becomes good again, the SRS light goes away at the next engine start.
