SRS Light after replacing main lift cylinder
Hi All,
For my 2004 CLK500 Cab, Was just wondering if anybody has any thoughts on this. I replaced the main lift cylinder for the convertible top. In order to reach it, one must remove the airbag in the rear of the car. Before I did this, I disconnected the main battery. I unplugged the airbag then removed it from the car. Once I hooked everything back up, I got an SRS code. I have an XPROS reader and it shows a low voltage code on that airbag module now, but it doesn't seem to want to clear. Any thoughts?
Note that I have not yet replaced all the seats and trim yet. I just installed and plugged in the airbag and then started the car to test the top operation before I put everything back together. Any advice appreciated!

I meant to update this thread in case it helps someone else. So, as I mentioned, I do have factory level diagnostics which pointed out the area of the problem, but it was actually way simpler than I thought it could be. Turns out, plugging in the airbag module is not enough. You actually have to slide the little orange locking tab into place. After I did that, I used my device to clear the code, and it's been fine since then. Ah, the little things.
