Reset SRS (Airbag) Dash Warning Light?

My 1991 3000GT SL SRS warning light came on last year after replacement of a dead 12V car battery. At the time I had hoped that it would correct itself after meeting some required number of starts without any errors, but this did not happen.

I have read several similar threads that were archived on this site and some claimed that it was possible to reset an SRS error condition by either disconnecting the car battery for several minutes or quickly turning the ignition key from on to off to on a total of ten times. Unfortunately, neither procedure has worked for me.

The 1991 Mitsubishi Factory Service Manual states that a SRS low voltage error condition can be reset using the Computerized Mitsubishi MB991341 Multi-Use Tester (MUT). I have searched for this specific MUT unit online, but so far have come up empty. I had hoped that it may have been available somewhere on the Internet since every dealership must have had several of them on hand prior to the industry move to OBD-II way back in 1996. I imagine that the need for these units has declined substantially, so why aren't any available on Ebay or elsewhere?

My first question is does anyone know where I can find one of these? And, my second question is if one can't be found, is there any other alternative (short of the dealership) for actually resetting the damn SRS light? (I know I can either pull the bulb or remove the controller completely, but would prefer to try to keep the car 100% stock and working if possible.)

Thanks to all in advance for your thoughts.

I have read that you have to quickly turning the ignition key from on to off 15 times, and also i have heard its 30, and you have to go all the way to where all the lights in the dash turn on not just accessory.

The computer diagnosis units are really expensive. If the ignition thing doesn't work you can go to a Mitsubishi dealer and they can reset it for you, but they'll charge you.

A good dealer will do it for free, a crappy one will charge you for it. I've had a dealer do it for free once, but it happens whenever the battery goes totally dead on you, its happened several times over the years. The key trick has never worked for me.
