The SRS light is for your airbags. The light means there's a fault with the airbag system. This means the airbags may not deploy in a crash, or may deploy suddenly. have it checked out right away

The SRS light is indicating it has found a problem with the air-bag system. Left unchecked, the air-bags could fail to deploy in the event of a crash.
All in all for your personal safety I would recommend you have the vehicle scanned for trouble codes. Take your car to your local Auto Zone and ask them to scan for trouble codes, they will do the scan at no charge to you. You can see what the the problem is and determine if you wish to have it fixed. I would recommend you have it fixed to prevent injury to yourself or your passengers in the event of an accident and your own safety.

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 covers

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 recommend disconnecting the negative battery connector to clean the code(s).

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

Holden Vy 2002 SRS light won't turn off why

There could be several reasons why the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) light on your Holden Vy 2002 won't turn off.
One possibility is that there is a fault or malfunction in the SRS system itself. This could be caused by a faulty sensor, a loose or damaged connector, or a problem with the SRS module. In this case, you will likely need to have the system diagnosed and repaired by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to use specialized diagnostic tools to identify the exact cause of the issue and make the necessary repairs.
Another possible reason is that there is a problem with the wiring or electrical system. Check for any loose or damaged wires leading to the SRS module or sensors. If you notice any issues, they will need to be repaired or replaced accordingly.
It's also possible that the SRS light is staying on due to a previous collision or impact, even if the damage has been repaired. In this case, there may be an issue with the crash sensors or impact sensors that are still detecting a problem. Again, a qualified mechanic will be able to diagnose and address this issue.
Overall, it's important to have the SRS system inspected and repaired as soon as possible. The SRS light indicates that there may be a problem with the safety system that could affect the performance of your vehicle in the event of an accident.

Airbag and srs light stay on , on my ml270

Only a compatible scanner is going to turn this off.Don't try to do it yourself, as with any air bag/srs (supplemental restraint system), these units contain what amounts to an explosive charge, and if not handled properly, by trained folks, they can very easily cause death, ansd a nasty one at that.As long as the system detects a snag, it will continue to turn that light back on, even if you do get it turned off. The system does a circuit check soon after the car is started, on this system, and the only way to turn off that light is to fix it. Could be as simple as a clockspring, so have it checked. This is one of the only things that I'm not really willing to give much info on, due to the potential for disaster. Sorry, it's just the old grease monkey looking out for your safety. If you get it diagnosed, and have any questions about what you have been told, or anything like that, please feel free to contact me. Good luck!

How do I take out front seats of my 2003 honda element?

Taking the seats out is a lot of work. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I wouldn't do it. There are only 4 bolts holding the seat track to the floor. The problem is some models have airbags in the seat backs. This involves SRS sensors, and disconnecting the battery, and the wiring. This will probably trigger the SRS light on the dash, which can only be turned off by a Honda dealer.

Car stalls unless gas constantly supplied otherwise car dies all dash lights come on usually on start up

Inspect and clean IAC valve (idle air control valve), replace if necessary. If IAC is Ok, please provide additional info!! Does your vehicle experience random or repeated hard starts?? Is your "service engine soon" light on?? These vehicles are known for faulty crank position sensor, usual symptoms are: hard starts, random/constant stalls, SES light on, misfire or no start. Some or all symptoms may or may not occur simultaneously.

SRS Light on Dash Illuminated

Sounds like either you did not connect the seat belt restraint wiring when the seats where put back in. This is a common problem. You will need to look under the seat and make sure that there are no loose wiring at all. The SRS is for the seatbelts.
