They should. Reset it and test it. JK!

But they should attempt to deploy no matter what.

what error code do you get ? (using the 2 pin connector under the glove box)
I have a 5-2 code and i couldn't get rid of the srs light yet, it seems i'm gonna need a new srs unit...
I hope you will be more lucky than me

Look under the glove box, on the right side, you should be able to find 2 blue connectors + 1 orange connector.

You will be using the smallest blue connector, which has 2 pins, do not use the other ones as you can damage your ecu or ABS...

Using a paper clip or small wire, short the blue 2 pin connector, then turn your ignition key to the II position (do not start the car)

Normally your srs light should come on for 6 seconds, then it will start to blink.

There should be some long blinks followed by short ones (example 4 long blinks followed by 3 short one means error 4-3)

It is important to know that each code will repeat three times and then move on to the next code.

You can get as much as 3 DTC codes.

SRS:

1-1 Open in the Driver’s Airbag Inflator
1-2 Increased Resistance in Driver’s Airbag Inflator
1-3 Short to Another Wire in Driver’s Airbag Inflator or Decreased Resistance
1-4 Short to Power in Driver’s Airbag Inflator
1-5 Short to Ground in Driver’s Airbag Inflator

2-1 Open in the Passenger’s Airbag Inflator
2-2 Increased Resistance in Passenger’s Airbag Inflator
2-3 Short to Another Wire in Passenger’s Airbag Inflator or Decreased Resistance
2-4 Short to Power in Passenger’s Airbag Inflator
2-5 Short to Ground in Passenger’s Airbag Inflator

3-1 Open in Driver’s Seat Belt Tensioner
3-2 Increased Resistance in Driver’s Seat Belt Tensioner
3-3 Short to Another Wire in Driver’s Seat Belt Tensioner or Decreased Resistance
3-4 Short to Power in Driver’s Seat Belt Tensioner
3-5 Short to Ground in Driver’s Seat Belt Tensioner

4-1 Open in Passenger’s Seat Belt Tensioner
4-2 Increased Resistance in Passenger’s Seat Belt Tensioner
4-3 Short to Another Wire in Passenger’s Seat Belt Tensioner or Decreased Resistance
4-4 Short to Power in Passenger’s Seat Belt Tensioner
4-5 Short to Ground in Passenger’s Seat Belt Tensioner

5-1 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
5-2 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
5-3 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
5-4 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
5-5 Internal Failure of the SRS unit

6-1 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
6-2 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
6-3 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
6-4 Internal Failure of the SRS unit

7-1 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
7-2 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
7-3 Internal Failure of the SRS unit

8-1 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
8-2 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
8-3 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
8-4 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
8-5 Internal Failure of the SRS unit
8-6 Internal Failure of the SRS unit

9-1 Faulty SRS Indicator Circuit or Faulty SRS Power Supply
9-2 Faulty SRS Power Supply
10-1 SRS Replacement Code

Good luck
