Srs reset without machine? - 1998 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

This can not be reset by conventional methods. This must be done through a scan tool. Usually only the dealer scan tool will communicate with the SRS module. If the SRS light is on you have other issues and they must be remedied before the light will go out. There is no way of knowing what the issue is without running codes with the scan tool.

Here's a quick check list for most common cost of SRS / Air bag problem.


Dirty contacts on driver and passenger seat belt buckles

Dirty contacts on seat belt connectors (under seats)

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger sides weight sensors (under seat)

Seat cover

Weight on passenger seat

(Example: grocery package trigger SRS / Air Bag light on the way home.)

I recommend you to pass an vacuum over the contacts and use CRC electronic parts cleaner to rule out connectivity problem.

I DO NOT disconnecting the negative battery connector to clean the code(s)

Without the code(s) the dealer will takes "BILLABLE" time to reproduce the problem.

the light is on because there is a failure in the system look under the seat for an unplugged connector or a torn wire if you find a problem and fix it you can erase the codes by disconnecting the battery for several minutes but this will erase everything or you may be able to have autozone reset the light after the problem is fixed keep in mind if u try and reset the light without fixing the problem the light will just turn back on

if the video dosent work go to www.vehix411.com free video instuctions will show you how to reset without a scanner / computer

You can remove the fuse for the airbags if it worries you.

Hi, Joe here to help,
Without going to a dealer, you need to get a scan tool to reset the srs light. Go to an Autozone store, They will scan it and reset it free of charge.

It is my understanding that the SRS is a dealer only reset because it requires a code that is proprietory to MB dealers only. Now, a garage with a good scanner (loaded with applicable MB program) may be able to reset it for cheaper than a dealer. Nonetheless, I do not believe you can reset it on your own.

A side note, as long as the SRS light is on, your airbag and/or belt tensioners may not work if you're in a collision.

burn the car and u wont have to spend anymore money

I have my srs light that just turned on. I have a c320 2002 how do I reset so that the light can come off
