Airbag & SRS Faults in Telford
An airbag or SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) warning light means the car has logged a fault somewhere in the restraint chain — and it will not clear until that fault is genuinely resolved. A red SRS light means the airbags may not deploy in a collision, so it is not something to leave. We diagnose the whole SRS loop, from crash sensors and seatbelt tensioners to the airbag control module itself, using dealer-level tooling that reads every SRS code the way the manufacturer intended.
Common Symptoms
If you are seeing any of the following, it points to a airbag & srs faults issue we can diagnose:
- Red or amber SRS / airbag warning light staying on
- Passenger airbag-off light behaving incorrectly with no one in the seat
- Seatbelt pre-tensioner fault codes after a minor bump or emergency stop
- Crash data stored in the airbag module after an impact
- Airbag module replaced second-hand and the light will not extinguish
- Intermittent SRS warning that comes and goes with seat movement
Common Causes
Faults like this rarely have a single cause. The usual culprits we find are:
- Faulty seat-occupancy / weight-sensor mat (common on BMW, Mini and Mercedes)
- Clock spring / steering-column ribbon broken, breaking the airbag circuit
- Crash data locked in the airbag ECU after an impact
- Corroded or damaged SRS wiring under the seats from seat movement
- Failed seatbelt pre-tensioner after an emergency stop
