RSQ3 SRS Light Alert: Critical Airbag System Warning
Summary of the thread
The conversation revolves around a critical airbag system warning in a 2022 Audi RSQ3, indicated by an illuminated SRS light. The issue was traced to a loose or faulty sensor connection under the front passenger seat, a common problem in newer vehicles due to complex safety systems. Immediate attention is recommended as driving with a compromised airbag system is unsafe. The solution involved securing the connection and performing a full system diagnostic, which resolved the issue and cleared the warning light.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the SRS light issue. Just went through something very similar with my RSQ3, and the airbag warning light was definitely concerning. The front passenger seat sensor was also the culprit in my case, causing the restraint system warning. Did you remember roughly how much the repair cost at the workshop? Also curious if youve had any other airbag system alerts since getting it fixed. Mine was done about 3 months ago and so far its been working perfectly, but always good to know what to watch out for.

Good to hear you had the same issue resolved. After seeing the mechanic, the airbag system failure was completely fixed in my case. The total repair cost was 95 Euro to fix the faulty cable connection near the crash sensor. The restraint system has worked flawlessly since the repair, no warning lights or airbag system alerts in the past year and a half. The key was getting it fixed promptly when the warning first appeared, as putting off airbag-related repairs can lead to bigger issues. For anyone reading, if you notice an SRS light, dont ignore it. Proper airbag deployment depends on all sensors and connections working correctly. While this turned out to be a relatively simple and affordable fix, its crucial for car safety to have any airbag warning lights checked immediately by qualified technicians.

After dealing with the initial SRS light scare, I wanted to update on my experience. Took it to the workshop last week and the entire fix was surprisingly quick. The mechanic found a loose airbag sensor connection under the passenger seat, exactly what others mentioned here. Total bill came to 120 Euro for diagnostics and repair, which included checking the entire restraint system. They explained that these sensor issues are fairly common in newer vehicles due to the complex automotive safety systems. No airbag recall was involved, just a standard connection problem. Really glad I didnt wait on this repair. The warning light cleared immediately after they fixed the connection and hasnt come back since. The mechanic also showed me the crash sensor location so I know what to check if it happens again. Peace of mind was worth every cent, knowing the airbag system is working properly now.

Had the same airbag warning issue in my 2019 Audi RS4. The SRS light came on without warning and stayed illuminated, similar to your situation. After inspection, the problem turned out to be a faulty crash sensor connection under the front passenger seat. These connectors can work loose over time or develop corrosion, triggering the airbag system warning. The automotive safety system is designed to alert drivers immediately when any component of the airbag deployment mechanism shows signs of malfunction. This needs immediate attention, driving with compromised airbag functionality is unsafe. The repair involved cleaning the connector pins and securing the wiring harness properly. A full system diagnostic was necessary to clear the SRS light and verify proper airbag operation. While not the most complex repair, it requires specific diagnostic equipment and expertise. Only qualified technicians should work on airbag repair components as incorrect handling can cause accidental deployment or system failure. The issue was resolved in one service visit and the SRS light has not returned since. Recommend having it checked soon to ensure your vehicle safety systems are functioning correctly.
