2G SRS diagnostics today

[Justin DuBois]

I have one of the early 95' 2G's and the SRS light is on solid. All the factory original SRS equipment is in place. The internet says the SRS system is independent, and the normal approach at grounding a pin the in OBD-II port will not work. A MUT-II or MUT-III scanner is recommended to clear the code.

The internet also thinks the SRS computer may suffer from leaking CAPS same as the fatory ECU.

What is available today to help pinpoint the failure, and who works on these boards?

You might try re-plugging the SRS connector first assuming your 95 has it. It reset my '99 SRS light and many others. https://www.dsmtuners.com/threads/glove-box-light.435692/#post-153493943

I had this issue a few years back. IIRC, I thought I may have accidentally powered on the car without the airbag plugged in which I read would turn the light on until reset. I couldn't get my hands on a scanner that would reset it, so I just bought a used replacement ECU which didn't fix it. It turned out to be a wire in the clockspring that had gone bad. I think I was able to use a multimeter to check the clockspring wires.

In my experience the module is always the fault underneath the center console. I have typically just unplugged them and the light will turn off on its own

A few months ago there was some one in Europe in the newbie forum trying to diagnose it with a mut2 tool, I do not recall if he resolved the situation but he needed the system functional to pass inspection (im not sure how they would verify it functioned if the light was off)

The horn also goes through the clock spring - the horn is working. I am suspecting something else.
