SRS (Air Bag) light

[92VR4Red]

i was driveing last night and my SRS light came on... anyone else have this prob. i cant really pass inspection with that light on so i need feed back...

My car did the same exact thing. I dont now what the hell it is.

[92VR4Red]

yeah i think its common because the 3000 i was going to buy had it on too. but i got this one and now it did it lol...

[G35turbo]

but why the hell would it come on????

[92VR4Red]

the hell if i know lol... i checked to see if it runs through a fuse but there wasnt a fuse labbled SRS... so im not sure... mabey its a prob with the ecu... or the sensors that activate the has rattled lose... but if that was the case they would have gone off... so really im not sure...

man mines on too! it happned after i changed my downpipe so i dunno...so are our airbags disabled right now or waht?

[G35turbo]

ya mine to, when i took my downpipe out the light came out.

[92VR4Red]

i think so... see i have had my downpipe changed a long time ago so i dont think that would be it... mine did it when i punched it on a intersection, geting on the highway...

mine stays lit too. it has been like that ever since i got the car. but the car has been wrecked b4 so maybe that messed up a sensor in the front... in the manual it says if it comes on to take it to the dealer.. we all know how much that would cost.... : \ .... but what exactly does it mean when its lit?.. will it not deploy if ur in a wreck or somethin??

[Knight2040]

well according to the little notice on the driverside visor it ses we have to get our airbags checked every 10 years and every 2 years there after at a dealer. i dunno about G35Turbo but our's are older and i havent gotten mine checked ever

[92VR4Red]

im not sure if it will cause it to not work... but a inspector wont pass it with it on i know that.
true the dealer will cost alot but they are the ones who knows whats going on... and knwo what they are doing. when i got my vaulve guides replaced i took it to a dealer because they know exactly how to time it and what not...

[G35turbo]

my car is a 1997 VR-4. I will take it to a dealership next week and i will post a thread and tell everybody what happened.

Don't count on it.

First I'd take it to Autozone, and have them run the ECU for codes...it will probably say something about the airbags, but I don't know if the codes regarding airbags get any more specific. 2ndly, anyone who has a membership at 3si...could you do a search for this and report back with some info if you get the chance...I'll skim through some threads, but a search would be much more efficient.
Also I've never heard anything about a corelation between the downpipe and airbags, so I don't know what to tell you there.
But I definantly wouldn't take it to a dealership until I knew alot more, so my advice to you guys is to hold off until we get some more info, before you throw good money away.

I'll do a search over there.
