2003 Civic - Reset SRS computer after accident?
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 ****er on this? Your insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Stephen |

You can't reset the computer until all sensors are connected. That is what
the computer is for, to tell you if a sensor is bad. When everything is back together and the computer finds no problems it can then be reset.
