Thread: SRS light keeps haunting me

Connectors under the seat would be my first point of call and where I have had issues in the past. Does it happen when you move the seat?

Before going further, I'd strongly recommend plugging in a diagnostic tool (ie nanocom or hawkeye) and seeing where your problem actually lies. Last time it happened to me the logged error was the passenger seat connection, which had come off the seat and got dislodged when the seat was moved.

If you don't have a diagnostic tool look in the member list on the electronic diagnostics page for some one near you who will be happy to help, particularly if liquid refreshment is provided

thanks Rok_Dr,

The seats dont get moved back and forward as a rule, as I am the only person that drives her the majority of the time.

I will have to pm someone with a nanocom I guess for some help

Cheers

There are 4 pyro devices each with connectors (2 front airbags; plus 2 seatbelt pre-tensioners on front seats that are below the buckle clips). There is also the rotary coupler inside the steering wheel that connects the airbag and allows the steering wheel to turn. The ECU is on the transmission tunnel in the centre. Connectors on any of these or the components themselves could be the issue, so Nanocom or similar is best way to focus efforts. Recommend disconnecting battery and leaving 10 mins before any work on SRS, as they are 'explosive' devices.

is your glovebox full?

open it and look through the back, another yellow connector. This gets knocked if the box is full and triggers the srs light.

THanks for the info guys.

Funny enough, when I got in this morning to go to work, the SRS light came on. Just got into the truck then, and the SRS light did not come on. Shes playing games with me.

I think that your car and mine are siblings---I ended up changing the fuse after all the seat moving and checking of seat connectors---worked [so far]

The back of the main fuse box if it gets wet can get corrosion on it (water leaks in from windscreen and grommets down main loom) and can cause these issues and others too...

If changing your fuse stopped it, undo the fuse box pull it forward and have a look behind it!
