SRS light still comes on after Buckle replace

[flandersmmm]

I had a local shop run the code after I was getting the SRS light on for the first 1 min after starting the car-then it goes off. Everyone knows this is probably a seat belt buckle. The code came back drivers side belt buckle, so I replaced it after disconnecting the battery as per Bentley book. Does this type of code fault require SRS reset after repair??? The light still comes on for a minute or 2.

I believe that it does.

I was under the impression SRS was for airbag.

I don't know about in BMW, but I believe that an SRS warning is for the air bag in Toyotas; I don't see why it would be any different.

"SRS" is Safety Restraint System, it includes seat belts.

I got a question. My srs is blinking too. It will blink for about 10 minutes or so and then burn constant. It happened after I disconnected my gauge cluster to change some bulbs. Just wondering if this is a major problem that I need to get fixed immediately.

DAAAAAH!!!! man you are from killeen???? Do you know KEVIN? KEVIN YOUNG!!!! MAN!!! HOw funny! he restores my mustang!!! I AM FREEEAAAKING OUT!

aaahh...to your problem. did take the steering wheel of for that? anyway, if you have an airbag it would be dumb not to have it working. that baby is a life-safer!
i´d suggest you visit your local dealer and have him read out the diagnostics! that way you´ll know what it is and how to get it fixed if needed

Thanks man. That is what I have decided to do. I did not take the steering wheel off to do that. As for Killeen, I live here but I am not from here and I don't know Kevin. Does he work on Bimmers at all? I need to have some work done and I have been looking for a good shop to deal with.
