You gotta run the code to see what is triggering it. On mine whenever I had a passenger in the front seat it would set off the srs light so it was easy to figure out that it was the seat sensor. changing that sensor is expensive and a lot of wor. fortunately there’s a seat sensor bypass available online for $20 That solved my light.

 

Please keep in mind, the module can only clear it's error codes for 5 times in total

 

I bought this 70 dollar emulator for the seatbelt/occupancy sensor on the passenger seat, Worked like a charm. Driving without it is fine, but it is to my understanding that maybe it could screw with your airbags if your in a accident?? Like not depoly on the seat with the faulty sensor?

 

I may be wrong (it does happen!), but my understanding is that the emulator tells the car that there is a front-seat passenger, so the airbag will always go off in a crash. The biggest risk would be installing a child seat in that front seat - you do NOT want an air bag blasting the child seat rearwards!

 

First off. Thanks for all your help always!

the srs light came on recently after - the rear got water and got into the rear Sam. The rear Sam was replaced - could it be they didn’t hook something correct on the rear sam that has to do with the srs system? Or does the rear sam have nothing to do with srs system? Also - could it be the rear seat isn’t on all the way - that could throw the srs light?

i also have no sound now on my sound system. Does the rear Sam have anything to do with that?

 

You can buy a child seat with MB technology, which disables the passenger airbag when it's detected!

 

You need to scan it. Most inexpensive OBD scanners should be able to read the codes for this car.

If you have had water ingress then it could have gotten in other places. The amp and cd changer sit low in the boot side cavity and may of been been water damaged. If one link in the fiber optic system goes down the next components in the chain wont work eg if your cd changer has failed the amp wont turn on\no sound. Probably pay to check the amp and cd changer etc connectors and fuse for any signs of corrosion or damage You can actually bypass the cd the changer at least without any extra wiring by removing the fibre optic wires\plug from the amp and cd changer to make one plug that goes into the amp. If you get sound back then you know the cd changer was faulty, otherwise you still have to diagnose via fibre optic via removing the connectors and observing the blinking lights which is whole another topic.

 

Should I use deoxit d5 or just some regular crc contact cleaner on the plugs?

 

Deoxit D5 is a good choice.
