SRS light question.
I have a 1995 SL320 and the SRS light is constantly illuminated. I have scaned the system and there are no SRS faults being reported. There is a fault on the drivers door lock actuator, the system is reporting a faulty ground. Could this be the reason why the SRS light is on?

Am I correct in thinking that the SRS light cannot be reset by iCar soft MB? Could this issue be as simple as a light needing to be reset?

if not, I’m at a loss here, any thoughts?

Okay that's a good indication of possible culprit.
Is the light still on? How many miles since battery change?

Any SRS failure has to be quitted, otherwise the light will stay on.
