What do you mean you changed out that? What did you put in place if it? I don't think that would be relevant to it though, SRS usually as to do with airbags, seat belts and such. Just saying that your SRS light came on won't really get you anywhere because there are a ton of things that could cause it. I would recommend buying a code reader and figuring out the code, then post the code here and go from there on what to do to fix it. Most likely you will need to go to the dealer though because I feel like I read somewhere on here that only the dealer can clear SRS codes. Not 100% sure about that though

I replaced it with the same OEM intake hose because the one I had was ripped.

[Peydidy]

Well then I don't think it would be relevant, did it come on immediately after you changed it?

[speedoniphoto]

yeah right after i changed it, it happened. However my gf did spill soda around the passenger seat area..

[Peydidy]

Probably you seatbealt then. I spilled water down there once and it threw on my srs light, dealer changed me 430 to replace it. The part itself is 80, it's the labor fees that kill you because they take the hole seat out

wow 430? this suckks!

what's a good code reader brand for mercedes?

[Peydidy]

Im not to sure which is the best, I got myn at auto zone for $60 last week and its pretty good.

[Peydidy]

If you can DIY it would be much cheeper just a $80 part, really nothings wrong, just a sensor issue because of the water (or in your case soda) damage. Again I am just assuming this may be your issue because it sounds very similar to myn it could be something else. SRS issues aren't something to play around with because it could have to do with something more dangerous like a airbag

[speedoniphoto]

thanks. Where do you plug in your obdII scanner into ?

[Peydidy]

Sorta by the red Handel that you pull to pop your hood under the steering wheel. There's a plastic cover, you open that them plug in the reader there

[sammydragon3]

that kind of scanner isnt going to read a srs codes

u need to go to a dealer or a shop that has dealer equipment

[speedoniphoto]

I looked up the recalls on the recalls government website and there was an airbag recall. However im thinking it's the seatbelt spill still, but not sure. The check engine light didnt come on until today and the spill happened over a week ago.

Is your car 2005?

[speedoniphoto]

yeah it's an '05. ill probably stop by autozone. i heard they let you use their obII sensor. i ordered one on amazon already but im just curious...

[Peydidy]

They don't anymore In California. They passed a law against stores like auto zone lending out there readers

[Peydidy]

They still will tell you what your code means though

is an 05 more likely to have this? or is there an easy way to clear it? mine is an 05 and the SRS warning just came on while driving. nothing extreme, just cruising like 45 mph.

not sure but that's the recall for our year.

[speedoniphoto]

for some reason my check engine is not longer there and my srs sign is no longer there... weird. my obdii scanner is coming in tomorrow.

[LILBENZ230]

The check engine light and SRS light are not related.

I had a problem last year with SRS lights... It turned out to be "bulletin" from MB where the connectors in the door sills were not staying connected with good contact. MB has a "retrofit" kit to fix it but my mechanic fixed it by hard soldering the wires. Check into this... If it happens enough to put out a bulletin then the timing could seem like it is connected to other things just by coincidence.
