What Does SRS System Malfunction Mean?

[StBriella]

SRS system refers to the airbag. The appearance of the message 'Please check SRS system' indicates that there is a malfunction in the airbag or seat belt pretensioner system. This situation can generally be divided into two factors: 1. Issues with the airbag system itself. For example, poor contact of the airbag collision sensor or a blown fuse under the steering wheel. This is rare and can be said to hardly ever happen. 2. External factors. The most common cause is a loose airbag connector under the seat. The connector usually becomes loose due to seat movement. This often occurs after car washing. Solutions: First, turn off the engine, reconnect the connector, and then restart the engine. It should be noted that there are connectors under both the driver's and passenger's seats, with the one under the passenger seat being more prone to loosening. When the 'Please check SRS system' message appears, the airbag warning light on the dashboard will also illuminate, indicating that the airbag system did not pass the startup self-test. The light serves as a reminder to the owner. Since the airbag is a passive safety device and does not affect driving, you can safely drive to a 4S shop or a professional repair shop for maintenance.
