Help! -- 2015 Honda Civic EX, no accidents, like new, low mileage (37K). VERY frustrating intermittent problem with SRS airbag fault ("B0001-13 increased resistance, driver first airbag inflator").

Happens *intermittently* -- occurs randomly, disappears at next car restart, then recurs 1,2,3 days later. If the SRS fault is cleared with a scanner, same thing -- recurs randomly 1-3 days later.

Truly random -- independent of temperature (30F to 70F), steering wheel position/movement, car in motion or not.

------------------
This could be *anything* -- SRS computer, dash wire harness, connectors, cable reel, driver airbag, SRS software or ?? (No recalls on this make/model, that I know of.)

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this frustrating, intermittent problem? Wait until it becomes constant? ...drive the car with the Honda SRS Inflator Simulator plugged in to rule-out/rule-in the airbag?

I don't want to just swap out components at random -- could be unnecessarily expensive. How would a dealer approach this problem?
Thanks for ANY ideas! --Dave

Dealers would not charge for safety related item? (my guess) unless they find evidence someone messed around the steering wheel
