DIY SCS Service Connector and SRS Reset

Great Advice - Worked Perfectly
I had just made an appointment at the dealership for the SRS light staying on my 2001 civic. I was told the diagnostic would run over 90 bucks and that it may take three hours . I read the advice and instructions on this site and gave it a try. Best advice I have ever taken in relation to repairing my hondas. I am not the most mechanically inclined individual and was also worried about the fuctioning after completion. As soon as I completed the steps - the SRS light behaved as if new (stayed on for a few seconds after starting and went out). Thanks for saving me some money!! A word of caution for those, like me, who do not deal with repairs often: The MES plug has a release tab. Depress the tab and it will come out smooth. I tore up the base of the plug due to my lack of patience.

This is my first post - I've been lurking for two days. Just got my EX the other day and found out about this place shortly after. Anyway, my SRS indicator was on and I cleared it using this procedure, which worked perfectly. I went in today to take advantage of the 'Honda Car Care Days' or whatever it's called - in April they give you a free 40 point inspection regardless of warranty/mileage and check your car for recall notices. My car had a recall notice on the airbag system (and another unrelated one), but since I had cleared the system's memory they were unable to tell exactly what the srs problem was. Anyway, people with 02 year model accords (and everybody else) might want to go have their car checked for a recall if the light is on. This might be a problem that you can get fixed free. The service tech asked me why I cleared the light, I said "So it would go away."
Sorry for the long post. Good forum you've got here.

94 Honda Accord ABS
The abs light is on in my 94 honda accord. I dont know if theres actually somehting wrong with it or the light just came on because something wierd triggered it.
I dont know where the connector is to reset the abs system. In the thread it was describing certain places but that doesnt match my car. My OBD1 connector is under the passenger side glove box, is that other connector my abs service connector?
If so, can i just use a paper clip to short it and read a code like the check engine liight? Or is there a way to just directly re-set the abs system.
THanks.
