Default 2000 Acura SRS light.



I own a Chevy Trailblazer 2003. It is chock full of electronics. Fly by
wire throttle, 4speed electronic shift tranny, 4 wheel ABS, Automatic 4WD
(selector switch not a mechanical shifter) theater dimming interior
lights, automatic headlamps, all electronic gauges etc..... Last year I
had battery trouble. Had to jump start it after leaving the radio on for 2
hours at a drive in theater that broadcast their audio on FM. The next day
it started fine and drove it to the dealer. They tested it and said it had
ZERO cranking amps Not once did I notice any glitches in the
electronics even though the battery was toast. I would say the SRS in this
Honda is very poorly designed as someone else suggested.




It must have had more than zero cranking amps or you would not have been
able to start it unless you jumped it, or it was a stick and you roll
started it. My guess is their meter bottoms out at something like 150
CCA and the guy didn't know better or didn't feel like explaining.
