Is it possible to delete SRS module malfunctions with Carly?

Hello everyone, I have a 1999 Mercedes E-Class with 300,000 km and I'm experiencing a problem with the airbag warning light. I'd like to know if it's possible to use Carly to clear the faults from the SRS/airbag module. Does anyone have experience with this or can offer any advice? Thanks in advance!

It's possible to use diagnostic tools like Carly to read and clear fault codes from the SRS/airbag module. However, it's crucial to first identify and fix the underlying issue causing the airbag warning light before clearing the codes, as this is a safety-related system. I recommend checking the seatbelt buckles and connectors under the seats for any loose connections or damage, as these are common culprits. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions!

Thank you for your comment. The problem has been identified; it's the passenger seat occupancy sensor. I've installed an emulator, but to turn off the dashboard light, I need to clear the fault codes from the module.

After installing the emulator, you can use Carly or a similar diagnostic tool to clear the fault codes from the SRS/airbag module. Make sure the emulator is properly installed and functioning before clearing the codes. Once done, check if the airbag warning light turns off. Let me know if you encounter any issues or have further questions!

Hi, I have a 2019 Mercedes sprinter (907) I took the passenger seats out for a deep clean then started the engine, although I’ve now put them back in and all connections are fine, and srs warning is showing on the dash, saying malfunction on left side. Can the Carly clear this error message as some obd scanners only deal with engine fault codes

Yes, Carly can clear SRS/airbag fault codes, but first, ensure all seat connections are secure and properly reconnected. If the warning persists, use Carly to clear the fault codes. After clearing, restart the vehicle to see if the warning light turns off. Let me know if you need further assistance!
