Troubleshooting D1 SRS - No Communication with SRS Module
#1

All,
The SRS light on my D1 has been on since I purchased it. I have done a lot of reading on the potential causes, but am hoping the community here can either contribute how they successfully troubleshooted the code and resolved it, or add some additional items to check. Most importantly I took the truck to a local independent rover shop and their code reader was unable to communicate with the SRS module. Note, there was a communication error NOT that they did not have the correct reader to interact with the system (at least this was my understanding). Have any of you had a non-communicative SRS module before? Any thoughts on where to begin? Furthermore, are there any readers you would recommend that I could purchase on my own to diagnose? I figure I need the error code to troubleshoot and a code reader to clear the system and reset the light. Opinions?

Takes a special reader, most normal OBD readers wont be able to communicate with the SRS.
Probably a broken clock spring behind the steering wheel.
That was the issue with 2 of mine that had the SRS light on.
One had a functioning horn, the other didnt.
Replaced Clock spring and good to go.
As to a specific reader, FaultMate MSV-2.

Rotary coupler was tested good (cruise control buttons are responsive). How else would it be bad if it's completing the circuit correctly? I believe the scanner the Indy shop used was capable of reading the SRS codes, the module just wasn't communicating.

have you tried using contact clear on the port? Just a thought 💭
