SRS light - bad airbag or bad harness?
#11
Did you do a similar fix on yours, or did your SRS light go away without you doing anything?

The only thing I did with mine this last Spring was remove the drivers air bag and check the connections, put back together with some dielectric grease. I was SRS free for quite awhile, but now I cant get the light to stay off. My code reader (Autel 619) will clear and read SRS. I still have Drivers side open airbag circuit once again. I thought I'd ask you about your fix before I pulled out the center console and checked my wiring...
Is there a way to test the airbag itself?? Before throwing money away?
My radio functions and etc work correctly with the roto coupler.

Yes, there is a way to check the airbag itself, but I doubt you'll like it.
You can remove the airbag and connect loooong wires to its terminals, then give the airbag a nice little 12V jolt. If the airbag is functional it will "deploy." But I don't think that's the answer you're looking for. I'm told, however, that there are more than a few YouTube videos demonstrating this method and using the test to propel objects high into the air.
But instead of testing the airbag why not test the harness like I described? I know it's a fair amount of work to remove the airbag and the console but once you get that done the testing is simple and, in my case at least, conclusive.
I'd be more than happy to have a phone conversation with you about this if you (or anyone else with questions) would like to do that. I don't want to become the next Disco Mike but sometimes it's helpful to talk with someone instead of trying to communicate in writing only.
Good luck, and please let us know your outcome.

I want to add what I found when I got the SRS light on my dash...
I read online that the SRS light is coming on and triggering a fault code B1016 "open circuit fault in LH pretensioner circuit".
Basically, the plug for the seatbelt is getting pulled under the seat when I moved the seat forward and back. The wires get pulled causing a short in the wires and setting off my SRS light.
I tried loosening the wire bundle at the driver's seat belt connection and the SRS light is out... for now.
