How to remove SRS light on a Honda Civic?

There are some other similar questions about this but can‘t find the righ answer. Here‘s what happened. My girlfriend and I cleaned the carpet on her 02 Honda Civic LX. So for better access, we removed both front seats. When done, we wanted to move the car foward a lil bit so I started up the car (this is with no seats) and moved it. After installing the seats back and connecting the cables for the seat belt restraints, we turned on the car once again and the SRS light was showing. I‘m pretty sure it went off when we started the car with no seats the firs time but did not realized it untill we were done. So my question is, how can I remove the freaking light? I tried disconnecting the battery for like an hour with no change. All cables are connected properly. Would a scan tool remove the light? If so, is it safe to do it and would all restraint systems will work normaly?

Answer:

Go to the auto parts store and ask to use their code reader. Check what code is coming up and fix the problem. ** Using the code reader, you can clear the code right then and there but if the problem still exists then the light will come back on again. Also, some states require that licensed mechanics clear the code and if you do it there might be a fine. Check with the auto parts place, they usually know this information.
Check your connections most SRS system run a system check with every key cycle. The light staying on means there is now a problem. However with a cheap code reader, you could discern which area to look at.
air bags are nothin but trouble, Switch em.
Yes, you need an OBDI scan tool. If you connected everything correctly, it will be ok.
