December 21, 1998

Applies To: 1999 Civic - ALL with security system

Security System LED Is Not Working

SYMPTOM

The security system LED on top of the steering column is not working.

PROBABLE CAUSE

Some of the security system attachment kits for the 1999 Civic were shipped without the sub-harness that is required for proper installation. If the sub-harness is not installed with the security system, the LED could burn out with use. American Honda has updated its inventory of security system attachment kits to include this new sub-harness.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Replace the LED, and install the security system sub-harness.
