I have been through various posts talking about getting the SRS warning light to go out.

After scanning the codes and finding codes that said both front seatbelt pre-Tensioners being out, the body shop is about to replace them.

Once I have these replaced, should the SRS indicator go out by itself or does the code need to be erased?

As I have said, I have researched this and find differing answers.

Thanks

 

Land Rover told the body shop that the SRS indicator WILL stay on and that the computer needs to be replaced to reset it

This can't be right as I have heard of many with the Autocom, Hawkeye, Nanocom, etc resetting these codes!

 

I have cleared the codes with Autologic. Never on a D2, but on RR classic.

 

Interesting. So in your experience with the RR classic, the codes will not clear themselves once the issue is fixed, BUT you can clear the codes with a computer once the issue is fixed.

 

I have a Nanocom. I had a SRS fault code come on last year. The Nanocom will specify the specific SRS fault (e.g., airbag or seatbelts). I replaced the rotary coupler and was able to clear the code using the Nanocom.

 

Well, unless any other input from any others, I am going to make the conclusive statements for the next person trying to figure this out:

1) If you have a SRS indicator, read the codes and fix what the problem is. You will then have to reset the code for the indicator to go off.
2) You can reset SRS codes and clear SRS indicators via a computer, no matter how badly the Land Rover stealership wants to sell SRS modules.

 

This is what I know based on my previous limited with the SRS faults...

The SRS is a system which displays "live" error codes. For example, if there is a fault in the SRS circuit, it will show an active fault code. Earlier last year, I encountered a SRS light. My Nanocom informed me it was related to the airbag.

I have tried to clear the code without going into the fix. The error code would immediately come back.

My hunch was a connection issue with the rotary coupler. There as a few times when I would jerk the steering column/steer wheel a few times. It appeared to have temporarily solved the loose circuit connection problem. The SRS light went away.

In the end, I ended up changing to a new rotary coupler. I recollect I did not have to go into the Nanocom to clear the code. It went away as the SRS is a "live" error code system due to the safety aspect, unlike the rest of the OBD2 system.

As I said previously, my SRS knowledge is limited and this is my perspective thus far. In other words, you do not have to change to a new SRS module in your particular case. Fixing either the airbag or seat pre-tensioner connection issues will most likely cure the SRS fault issues.

 

I would agree that the code needs to be cleared once the issue is fixed. In the case of the RR classic, all 3 times the light came on because the system had a low voltage fault. Even though that was fixed, the code stayed until cleared.

 

I know this is a dormant thread but I'm writing to correct misinformation.

I know from personal experience that the SRS system is reset and checked each time the truck is started. There is no need to reset it with anything once a problem is addressed and corrected. Once I found and corrected the short in my truck's driver airbag harness in April the light went out after the start up self-test the next time I started the truck.

 

MLN,

You are right, the truck performs a safety circuit check. If the SRS issue is fixed and there is no longer an open circuit, the SRS check light will go away.

My last post affirms your statement: "I recollect I did not have to go into the Nanocom to clear the code. It went away as the SRS is a "live" error code system due to the safety aspect, unlike the rest of the OBD2 system."
