What would cause this to be on? I just put my sterring wheel back together do I need to get the warning light reset?

 

Did it come on before you removed your steering wheel or after?
If after, either you damaged the spiral ring or it has been caused by a low voltage fault caused by disconnecting your battery.
It will not reset itself so ask you mechanic if he has a lap top scanner that can clear it.

 

Hi Mike, It only came on after I put it all back together. If I had damaged the spiral ring would there be any other symptoms?

Also the red, 2 pin push in connector to the back of the airbag seems quite sloppy/loose, any way to make this tighter without damaging either end of the connections?

Thanks

You need to find a mechanic who can read the SRS codes.

 

Thanks for all the advice, solved. The sloppy connection into the back of the airbag. Every time I carefully lifted the bag off the wheel I could see that the red connector had fallen off each time. Somehow it magically clicked firmly into place on the third try and the SRS went out.
