Is there a way to reset the light? My 2000 D2 has 74k miles on it. Or is this a dealer thing? I don't want to go to the dealer ($$) for this one item   Joey (Joey4420) Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 54 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 03:17 pm:    Unless I am wrong, which happens at least twice a day, hmmm wonder what number I am on now. You have to go to the dealer or someone with a testbook to have the SRS light reset.   Jeff Eiermann (Jeffe) New Member Username: Jeffe Post Number: 21 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 17, 2003 - 03:41 pm:    Rick, I have a '00 D2 which had the same problem. Dealer claims there is a TSB (technical service bulletin) out for this (connectors causing the problem). Mine happened at about 49K so it was covered under warranty.

The dealer had to replace the driver seat belt stalk. Resetting did not work in my case.

I had the same problem under warranty, but I guess now I'll have to dish out some coin!!

I believe (please do not quote me) that the SRS light on a DII will reset itself after a certain number of drive cycles --- if you fix the issue. I know this because I have seen SRS lights go on and then go off again. Whether it resets and this is the case on all faults or just certain faults I do not know. In any event, the front pretensioners seem to be responsible for at least 90% of all SRS lights on DIIs. If you are game I would try performing the TSB and see what happens. Ron
