SRS light Civic 2013

Hello,
The SRS light appears on my dashboard and I would like to delete it if possible,some advice from you would be welcome. During a scan with a diagnostic tool, I was given the error code 12-10. I want to specify that the light is on but sometimes it disappears for even a day if no one is sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a small frontal accident in the past that did not trigger the airbag.
Although I deleted the error code, it reappears immediately, I searched on the internet if I could delete this SRS from the board and I found some tips... one is the paper clip method but I didn't find anyone who tried it on the 9th generation. two procedures would be those with a 2.2 ohm resistor, which I didn't read properly and I simply don't understand.
Please, if you have any advice, they are welcome and I thank you in advance

Re: SRS light Civic 2013

I would try a shop that rebuilds salvaged cars - they are used to reset SRS codes?

That's the problem I can't find. Only at the dealership and it's very expensive there. That's why I was interested in doing something DIY if possible

Re: SRS light Civic 2013

I thought you said you already deleted the code and it immediately reappears? That means there is an actual issue with the passenger air bag that should be fixed.

Yes, I want to fix it and I would like to DIY it using the paper clip or the 2 ohm resistor method, but I don't know if anyone has tried the 9th generation and I would like some detail if anyone on this forum has tried these methods...or any advice related to my problem

The resistor isnt a fix, that is just trying to trick the computer and can potentially get someone killed

My thoughts exactly. It might be possible to bypass the passenger airbag but you risk getting someone killed. Best just to fix the issue.

Re: SRS light Civic 2013

BrotatoChip and Colin42 Thank you for the advice, yes I will give up the 2ohm resistor method. But I will look for a thread on the internet (I hope to find) the paperclip method if anyone has done it on the 9th gen

Re: SRS light Civic 2013

I recently had the side air bag light come on, stay on, sometimes go out for a while and then come back on steady. After a little research I discovered that the passenger seat belt was wrapped around the seat-back lever. After untangling it, I never had another problem. Save a few hundred $$ and check out the simple things first before heading off to the dealer.
