My brother just bought a 2003 Civic with rear end damage. The air bags
didn't blow but, apparently, there is something that blows in the front seat belts? I have never heard of this! Now, I guess the SRS computer has to be reset. Problem: he can't get the car registered until the seat belts are functional and he can't get the computer reset unless it's in the car and everything is installed. He is replacing the seat belts but, the body shop is not equipped to reset the computer. Does this make sense? Can you have the computer reset without it being installed in the car? It doesn't seem to make sense to have to tow the vehicle to a dealer or a shop that is equippped to do the reset. Are there any more logical options? Is somebody just pulling my pisser on this? Your insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Stephen |
