OBDii (On board diagnostic) - clear SRS error?

OBDii (On board diagnostic) - clear SRS error?

My education about the ODB is very small. To my understanding it can be used to clear CEL and read the codes.

Would anyone know if it would also clear the SRS error light?

-thanks

I presume you are trying to ask whether a standard, run of the mill, OBDII/CANBUS scanner will clear SRS codes & cancel the light? If that's what you are trying to ask------

Answer: No - You would require something like the Snap On scanner. Cheaper to go to the dealer.

You might want to go to an independent who can clear the code. The stealers don't deserve the business. Nor do you deserve the rip off.
I hope you know the cause of the SRS error and it's something that you fixed, like disconnecting an SRS part temporarily. If the cause of the error remains, clearing it won't help you, it will pop right back up.

+1 - the Indys tend to use the Snap On scanner as a cheaper (but still darn expensive) option to the STAR. Many have STARs

third post already gave you that option. Go to a independent shop that has the STAR diagnostic computer.
