    as you want to spoil my business for the $ 85.00 reset tools
    I give you some help to solve the mystery
    Gale tried that in 2006 already, he got the pics etc., here the pics, but he apparently did not succeed or did not continue to work on it.

    he mentioned:
    Ok. so I copied the pic of the underside of the reset tool & identifed the pin numbers they are using:

    We know that the oil & service reset is done by jumping pins 7 & 19 with a wire, for 5 and 10 seconds respectively. They say in their documentation that the SRS reset is done by shorting the memory chip to clear the fault. As accurately as I can tell, the 2 additional pins they have in their reset tool are pins 12 & 16. I checked the schematic & neither 12 nor 16 go to the SRS module. Anyone have a parts car that will power up to practice on? I don't want to risk messing mine up by experimenting with it while it's functioning properly.

    Isn't 7 the ground?

    Are you looking at the same Electrical troubleshooting manual?
