This is exactly where you will find the MES plug on the Civic (2006-2011) to reset the SRS if you live in the UK - and other countries. Its done the same way as other Hondas - ie bridge the connector when the SRS light is on and disconnect as soon as it goes out - plenty of videos on exactly how to do this. It should work providing there are no actual existing faults. If the SRS/Airbag light shows on your dash soon after turning onthe ignition, there is a fault somewhere in the airbag system - usually an open circuit and your airbags will NOT deploy when you really need them and seat belt restraints may not hold you firmly in your seat in the event of a roll so you should not ignore the warning light. ALWAYS, ALWAYS disconnect your battery for 30 minutes before doing ANY work on the SRS system or it could deploy suddenly and the results can be fatal.

Your safety is compromised with an SRS fault. I've seen others try to fool the ECU by using resistors in place of sensors but this is idiotic - you must fix the issue or the SRS system may not work as intended. Try unseating and reseating connectors under front seats as a first call (often the cause).
