Arrow Which is the right MES connector to reset SRS on Civic 2000 EX?

Could anybody here help to identify which one (A,B or C) is the right MES connector to reset SRS light on my Honda Civic 2000 EX sedan? I was trying to unplug "A" connector but I failed to get it out because there is no easy clip there. I appreciate any help here. Thanks!

Hi ezone,

Thank you very much for your response! As indicated in the photo attached. The main SRS harness has 3 splits that are all yellow colored connectors.
  • "A" has 2-pin green/green wires out but I can not unplug it because it does not have a eazy clip.
  • "B" connector has 3 wires out so it can be excluded.
  • Connector "C" has 2-pin gray/gray wire as well and it can be eazily unpluged.
Actually, I am not sure which one in between A and C in my Civic 2000 EX is the MES connector to reset my SRS even after extensively research on the websites. I do not want to try C without hundred percent sure it is the right one. Can you or anybody pass by here please check the attached photo and tell me which is the right one? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I relized that my car may have some other problems because the horn and crusie do not work as well. Actually, these things happened at the same time in one day about 2 years ago.
I probably need fix my horn and Cruise control and reset my SRS. Can anybody tell me this is right and how to? Thank you!

Unfortunately, the SRS came back
If you did not solve the problem that CAUSED the light to come on, this is to be expected.

This was repeated many times but the results were the same
Definition of "crazy" is this.

removed the wire connector to the driver's seat
That just set another code in the SRS unit.

and tried to disconncet the battery and reset SRS
You can't clear SRS codes like that.


That light came on for a reason. There is always a reason.
Did you ever bother to read the SRS codes and determine what the problem was?
Sounds like you skipped all that and went right to erasing codes. Wrong answer.
the horn and crusie do not work as well
Huge clue here. What is the common denominator here?

Think carefully: Is there one single part that can affect your airbag system, the horn system, and the cruise control system all at once?
