It is never a good idea to intentionally short anything electronic. I tried the above method on my 1996 Honda accord & the SAS light went off . The next day I drove my car to work & when I went to start it on my lunch break it wouldn't start. To make a long story short my car wouldn't start after shorting out the SRS light when you short the SRS it fries your main control module under the steering wheel which will cause your car to not start.
Never Short out anything Electronic it will not fix the problem it will make the situation worse.
