i pulled the passenger seat yesterday in my ep3, and the bright red light, NOT SRS, but a, looks like an airbag light, wont go off now that i put the seat back in

 

When you took the seat out, did you first disconnect the negative terminal of the battery? If you didn't, that might be why the indicator light is still on.

 

yea, i figured out that i have to reset the system and how to do it, now i just have to do it... but if i pull the negative terminal of the battery, it will not come on?

 

Well, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure how to fix it now that you've already set it off. I was told once that you can reset it through a small pinhole in the gauge cluster. Again, I "heard" this... I never had to deal with it when I swapped seats because I disconnected the battery before removal, and reconnected it after completing the installation of the new seat. Sorry, dude...

 

mabye u forgot to reconnect the pasenger seat blet sensorr? if there even is one heh

 

1st you need to either buy or make the "SCS Service Connector" #07PAZ-0010100 from H and A Accesories for $3.51. I used a speaker harness for an older Honda which you can buy at a local stereo shop such as Circuit City or Best Buy, and cut the wires and looped them together. You can also use a paperclip but that will make it a little more difficult because you have to connect it and disconnect it a few times quickly.

2nd you need to find the MES (Memory Erase Signal) connector which is pictured below:

SCS Plug
It is a yellow connector with two wires in it that is plugged into the fuse box, unplug it and pull it down. Once you have done that you can begin the process of erasing the memory. NOTE: This will only reset your SRS System if what caused it to trigger has been fixed, Ex: turning the ignition on with any SRS Plugs disconnected, such as pulling your seat out.

1st step in erasing the memory is to turn the ignition off and connect the SCS Service connector to the MES Plug,

2nd Turn Ignition on. SRS indicator light will come on for about 6 seconds then go off.

3rd Disconnect SCS service connector for MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS indicator light goes off. SRS indicator light will come on again.

4th Reconnect SCS service connector the MES connector within 4 seconds after SRS light comes on. SRS indicator light will go off.

5th Disconnect SCS service connector from MES connector within 4 seconds. SRS indicator light will indicate that memory is erased by blinking 2 times.

6th Turn ignition off, and wait 10 seconds. Start vehicle like normal and light should come on and go out like normal. You have reset your SRS light, congrats.

If it does not work the first time try it again, the timing has to be perfect. My first time it took me 3 attempts before it worked, but it did work.
