I was wondering if anyone has replaced an SRS Unit on a 2002 CR-V? Mine went bad and I was thinking of replacing it myself (almost $900 at a repair shop), but was wondering if there are any particular steps that need to be followed. Thanks in advance.

You must mean P0702, right? Don't ignore the first two figures!
My official Honda list does not show that code. Perhaps you'd better get the code checked by a Honda dealer. P0702 is not a valid Honda code according to my list.
By the way, the numeral "7" denotes a TRANSMISSION problem, not an SRS one! Go to your dealer! $90 to check the code properly beats $900 for an unnecessary repair!
You may be right. Looking at the receipt from the repair shop, they listed
702 as the code. I'll call them on Monday and see what other information they may have, that they did not give me. In your list, is there a description that states "Internal Failure of S.R.S. Control Unit"? I did try to clear the code, but it come back as soon as I start the CR-V. I appreciate your help with this issue.
You can safely change the SRS control unit yourself; but OPDS will need to be initialized. That you will not be able to do yourself. I suspect your car has SRS DTC 7-2 Here's the DTC list for SRS Unit failures.
NOTE: Before troubleshooting any of these DTCs, check the battery/system voltage.
If the voltage is low, repair the charging system before troubleshooting the SRS. If the battery/system voltage is now OK, ask the customer if the battery ever went dead.
Make sure your car does not need a new battery or other charging system repairs. Call Honda Customer Relations and explain your problem, you might be pleasantly surprised.
I did replace the battery, but that was about 7 months ago. The SRS light just came on about a month ago. I will check the charging system and see how it is. I have already typed up a letter to Honda's Customer Service Dept.
For those looking for a list of codes, here are a few good links:
I did find this on another website: INFORMATION ON DIAGNOSING SRS DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE 6-7 AND / OR 7-2 INTERNAL FAILURE OF SRS UNIT. ( NHTSA ITEM NUMBER - 637638 ) Maybe the repair shop uses their own codes or possibly their diag tool spits out codes that are not up to industry standards. I'm still going to call them on Manday and see what they have to say. If I'm not satisfied, then I will go to the dealer and have them check it out.
