An easy way to RESET the Airbag light !!
So after I did my 1J swap my airbag light came on, must of tripped something, so I thought about it and remembered from my friends toyota camry that when he fixed it after the accident he just plugged a new module and airbags and the airbag light dissapeared. Unlike Honda's which you have to Reset even if module is new and airbags are new.
So I was like prolly the airbag module has a battery capable of holding memory if something is tripped. So........
1. I unhooked the battery on my car
2. Unscrewed the 4 screws behind the steering wheel
3. unplugged the yellow cable for the airbag and just for good measure i left the airbag unplugged overnight
4. replugged the airbag and screwed it back on
5. plugged in the battery and the airbag light went away.

VQT's method was a hit or miss depending on how you did it, but Thang's method with the switch works well.

are the 4 screws under the tabs on the left and right side of the steering wheel? I want to give this a shot but I wasn’t 100 percent sure where the screws you are referring to are located
