Re: Help! My SRS light (air bag) is on

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rami,

Here's a possibility...

Check the connection to the seatbelt sensors.  If your seatbelt sensor is 
disconnected, the SRS light will come on.  The system will fire the airbag 
at a reduced level of intensity if your seatbelt is buckled, and when the 
SRS light is on, it could mean that the system failed to detect the seatbelt 
sensor.

I know people with E36 M3s who removed their driver's seat and turned the 
ignition key on.  Since the system didn't detect the seatbelt sensor, it 
turned the SRS light on.  Even after reinstalling the seat, the light 
remains on and must be reset by the dealer.
