Thumbs down SRS light.

Alright, so i went over a bump, my check engine light came on. thought that was weird. got a little bit further down the street, go over a speed bump, (slowed down obviously to like 0mph lol) and the CEL light went out and my SRS light came on. so i looked into it, checked all the wiering, because my airbags didnt deploy but it is registering as if they did and i dont have them anymore. then finally gave in, and brought it by the shop i work for and was like whats going on. they took her for a day and said the SRS sender needed to be replaced. but the retail is like above $600. WTF?!?!?! like honestly? anyone know anything about this stuff, or had this happen? or know where or how to obtain one cheaper? and also the CEL came back on today after i got it back from the shop and its blinking.

on top of this i have alignment issues, so i was just about to drop all the money into new camber kits and toe kits so now i need to figure out wich is more important, bad tire wear or having airbags? lol. jk.

I removed my airbags in my hatch. How long have you not had airbags? Is anything affecting the driving besides the alignment?

Retrieve the CEL codes. You have a 6th generation Civic, right? A blinking CEL means the engine is misfiring severely enough to damage the cat ($$$), so don't drive until it's fixed. Start by inspecting the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor -- replace if necessary.
