i never got any accendient. the Air bag doesnt come out nothing happen with the airbag, but when i start my car the SRS light start flashing then always on.
i pulled the steering wheel yestaday, because i need take the whole meters out and put a ///M sticker in. should i just wait maybe one day the light off or what should i do.

most likely, that light is on due to a seat-belt related problem. i might be wrong, but if its bothering you, take it to your nearest dealership and they will fix it. i wouldn't be worried about taking the steering wheel off when the lights on, lol, its not like your airbag is going to deploy in your face just because you're taking the steering wheel off. if that was going to happen, i'm pretty sure it already would have. so go ahead and go for it.

the airbag light will need to be reset. its not the same as the service light.
if it comes back on then there is a problem with a sensor somewhere. under ur back seat is the control unit, if something hits the seat hard, it can bump the wires or something simple that the unit doesnt like and it will turn the light on.

its nothing to worry about usually....so have it reset. if it comes back on then start to worry.

Don't worry about your SRS if you can't fix it right away, mine's been on for a year now solid and nothing's happened :P

when your computer recognized a problem in your safety system it shuts down the air bag completely as to avoid an accidental deployment. So if you get in an accident you might be screwed. anyway, get it checked out.

so.. how to reset it? they tell me take the bulb out, so it cant on anymore, i dont like this way, is there any way to try to make the light off?

Basically go to the dealer and have a technician reset it. I know there are tools to reset the oil service indicator (electronic tools that you can buy). But I don't know about the Secondary Restraint System (SRS). I know that my mechanic won't reset it because by law BMW has to, or at least thats what he says.. :P Look on
www.bavauto.com and see if they sell a kit for the SRS reset.
