72,154

Two mighty important things were accomplished today: I reset the SRS light, and upgraded the RAM in my on-board laptop.

Upgrading the memory was easy; it's the SRS light that took me a while. I had to find the resistor with the right rating to make Kelly's brains think like the airbag was still attached:

Then, I did the MES dance. It's a bizarre sequence of actions that you have to take to reset the memory and make the SRS light go away, involving crawling under the steering wheel and then turning the ignition on and off as you fumble with paper clips. Believe it or not, it worked!

Why take out your airbag, you may ask? Why do you need it, if you have no passenger seat, I might answer.

I can't make out the color code on the resister you used. Would you know the Ohms / resistance value? Or color bars on it?

2W 2.2Ohm - see http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?p=24493440#post24493440 for full details. I still have some resistors sitting around somewhere.
