Hi Everyone,

Well, to make a long story short I think I accidently ****ed up my SRS
system. A friend and I were trying to diagnose a check engine light
which had come on earlier in the day while I was driving my 1998 Honda
Civic LX & I think we crossed the wrong connector when trying to get
the ECU engine code. The connector which was crossed was hidden
behind the dash/center consol on the passenger size and had 2 red
wires going into it on one side and two green ones going out the other
side. The yellow connector was being held in place by a light blue
anchor.. Suffice to say crossing this connector did not provide us
with the fault code so we pulled the radio fuse and plugged it back
in. That reset the check engine light but now the SRS is on red and
staying on.. Did we blow the SRS computer or just one of the sensors
and if so which one ? Any suggestions as to fix this new problem I
created for myself ? Is there a way to reset the computer ?

Your car is OBDII and you can't read out the codes. If you are going to try
and fix it you need to start reading some books. You should have had the
code read out and it would give you a starting point to troubleshoot. You
need to get a service manual that describes how to get the SRS code to
determine where to start. Today's cars are computer driven. When you start
shorting wires you better know what you are shorting. Take it to the dealer
and have it analyzed.....
