Question
My SRS light remains on do I need to replace the SRS module or can I reset it? where is it located?

Answer

SRS
Vance,
Fault codes are displayed by flashing of warning lamp. Several faults, if present are displayed in succession at 4 seconds intervals.
Requesting Fault Code Display
Turn ignition On, warning lamp will display a steady beam indicating presence of a fault. (Lamp will otherwise be extinguished after approximately 10 seconds). Wait 15 seconds to allow system to complete self-diagnostics.
Ground test terminal for 2-5 seconds. When ground connection is removed, lamp will commence to display fault code(s) before reverting to steady light. Lamp will flash immediately when ground connection is removed, however this is not a fault code just confirmation that a request has been made.
If no fault code is displayed, switch ignition Off and On and repeat test. If this does not function, check connection to combined instrument. Ground leads must be fitted with spade connectors at both ends. Refer to table for fault tracing repair.
