Thread: Srs warning light

Hi, unplug a pretensioner then read code again, if you dont get open circuit for that one the DCU becomes very suspect cos once the light is on it should log a fault code too unless nanocom is misbehaving in this case cos it's not the best with the SRS, i've had something similar once and found a logged code with hawkeye while nanocom didnt show any especially that you said that there is no code logged but the light goes out when you clear that non-existent code

Just been through this... test continuity of the pretensioners to see if fault there, use electrical contact cleaner on connections, if SRS light staying on it is the DCU under the cubby box - replace. We thought we had our one sorted after wet river crossings and liberal spray of contact cleaner but came back a couple of days later - replaced the DCU under the cubby box and all good since.

Just to finish this one off, finally got time to change the srs ecu over yesterday, its under the cubby box between the front seats, not difficult but very fiddly, the srs warning light has gone and on the couple of short drives I've done so far it seems to be staying off, so hopefully that's the end of that.

Thank you all for your help and suggestions, this forum really is the best thing

I looked on eBay first, a few about for 125-160, then got the one from the UK that was 36 dollars including postage, if you can wait a week they are almost giving them away over there. Just make sure your ebay setting allows you to buy from overseas

I get lots of stuff from OS. So it's second hand? I have no problem with that btw, the one in my car is 24 yo.

Yes it's a used one mate, I wasn't sure that was the problem and didn't want to throw a lot of money at the wrong thing, seems to be working perfectly now though, so I'm just going to leave it alone!
