Product Update: SRS Indicator Stays On, and DTC 86-25 Is Stored
BACKGROUND
On affected vehicles, a wire for the OPDS sensor may rub against the seat frame. This can damage the wire's insulation and cause the SRS to store DTC 86-25 (faulty OPDS seat support sensor).
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this product update. An example of the customer notification is shown in this service bulletin.
To verify vehicle eligibility, check for at least one of these items:
^ The customer has a notification letter.
^ The vehicle is shown on your campaign responsibility report.
^ The vehicle is shown as eligible on a VIN status inquiry.
In addition, check for a punch mark below the fifth character of the engine compartment VIN. A punch mark in that location means this product update has already been completed.
Some vehicles affected by this product update are still in dealer inventory. These vehicles must be updated before they are sold or leased.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
If DTC 86-25 is not stored, use wool felt to insulate the OPDS sensor wire harness. If DTC 86-25 is stored, replace the front passenger's seat-back pad/OPDS sensor, and use wool felt to insulate the sensor's wire harness.

Defect Code: 5HN00
Symptom Code: Q2100
Skill Level: Repair Technician
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Connect the HDS to the vehicle's data link connector (DLC), and check for DTC 86-25.
^ If DTC 86-25 is stored, go to step 2.
^ If DTC 86-25 is not stored, go to step 3
2. Replace the front passenger's seat-back pad/OPDS sensor:
^ Refer to page 20-169 of the 2006 Civic Service Manual, or
^ Online, enter keyword SEAT-BACK, and select Front Seat-back Cover Replacement (2-door) from the list.
NOTE:
^ Leave the seat-back rear panel off.
^ If the OPDS wire harness on the new OPDS sensor is not already insulated with wool felt, go to step 4.
^ If the OPDS wire harness on the new OPDS sensor is already insulated, you do not need to do step 7. Cut a 50 x 100 mm piece of wool felt, and do steps 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.
3. Remove the rear panel from the front passengers seat-back:
NOTE:
To avoid breaking the rear panel, do not pull the top of it more than needed to release the C- hooks, and never pull it by its sides.
^ Carefully pull back the top of the rear panel, just enough to release the C-hooks from the seat. To free the C-hooks from the seat fabric, push the fabric up and forward.
^ To release the rear panel's side clips, hold the top of the panel, and lift it up while wiggling it side-to-side no more than an inch each side.
^ Lift the rear panel up and off its two lower clips. The lower clips remain in the seat frame, and the rear panel remains attached to the straps on the bottom of the seat.
4. Cut a 70 X 100 mm piece and a 50 X 100 mm piece of wool felt from the wool felt roll.
5. Using an alcohol pad, clean the side airbag bracket, and let it dry. The bracket is near the right side of the seat frame, under the OPDS sensor wire harness.
6. Center the 50 x 100 mm piece of wool felt over the side airbag bracket, then stick the felt to the bracket, and pinch its ends together.
7. Attach the 70 x 100 mm piece of wool felt to the OPDS wire harness:
^ Remove any existing wool felt from the end of the harness.
^ Stick the top of the new felt to the seat back foam, where the harness emerges from the foam.
^ Wrap the remaining length of the felt around the wire harness. Make sure the bottom of the felt is secured to the corrugated tubing on the harness.
8. Remove the two lower clips from the seat-back frame, and install two new lower clips on the seat- back rear panel.
9. Carefully reinstall the seat-back rear panel, making sure all the clips and hooks are engaged.
10. Center-punch a completion mark below the fifth character of the engine compartment VIN:
^ Slide open the FRAME NUMBER door on the center cowl cover.
^ Use a long punch to reach the VIN.
