Looks llike a lock that is not surpose to be there. That loop that the lock is around looks like that where the engine gets hoisted in and out of the engine bay.

I would just cut it off so it doesn't rattle around.

It looks like part of the sling used to place the engine and someone cut it off at the wrong place. Of course, that blue part could contain the electronics, the long straight piece is the antenna and the loop is part of the security system.

Your

SRS light is caused by a faulty passenger seat occupancy sensor.
Test the harness,test the wires,replace the seat sensor.
DIY you know where
as long as that light is on the passenger is not protected by the air bag.
