SRS Diagnosis
The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) is also referred to as a passive restraint system because the vehicle occupants do not need to do anything. The SRS system will be activated when the enabling criteria (speed and deceleration) are met. If the SRS light is blinking or stays on, there is a fault somewhere in the SRS system, putting you and your passengers at risk. The purpose of the SRS light on your instrument panel is to alert you of a potential problem with your supplemental restraint system.
Use the ML629 to have the system checked if:
- The light does not come on when you turn the ignition ON.
- The light stays on after the engine starts.
- The light comes on or flashes while you are driving.
NOTE: SRS(Airbag) system scan of ML629 does NOT work on all cars from 1996. Please email VIN number to us to check compatibility before purchase.
