So I recently just installed a aftermarket steering wheel. During that process to make the SRS light turn off I put a 2 ohm resistor to make the light turn on then off.

While I went on my test drive with the steering wheel I didnt center the clock spring and snapped it internally which caused the srs light to come on.

So I ordered a new clock spring and installed it with the two ohm resistor and did the srs reset and the light is still on.

How I know its fixed is because I didnt have a horn before and now I do. Im curious as to see if theres like a hard code set or something internally screwed up. Id also like to see if theres a software so I can delete the hard code if there is one.

thank you

 

Why not just unplug the SRS light?

 

Then I dont pass VA inspection

 

I would use the procedure to get the current status of the SRS system, then you will know what the issue is.

page 23-34 lists the codes.

 

and an aftermarket steering wheel passes inspection? today i learned

 

It can if you know what your doing
