SRS Warning Light Appears After Audi TT Service Visit

Had a similar issue on my 2004 Audi A4 1.8T. The SRS warning light typically indicates an airbag system fault requiring proper diagnosis. The crash sensor connections were compromised during routine maintenance when the technician accessed the lower dash area. From garage experience, SRS warnings often trace back to loose or damaged wiring connections rather than the airbag units themselves. The vehicle safety system detected a fault in the airbag circuit, triggering the warning light. In my case, reconnecting and securing the crash sensor wiring harness resolved the issue. Since this started after maintenance work, have the shop inspect their recent work areas. The airbag repair should begin with checking connector integrity and wire routing, especially near areas disturbed during the service. A professional diagnostic scan can pinpoint which airbag circuit is causing the fault. This requires immediate attention as compromised airbag deployment systems pose serious safety risks. The repair itself is typically straightforward if caught early, but requires proper diagnostic equipment and expertise in car safety systems. Remember: Never attempt DIY repairs on airbag systems. Only qualified technicians should work on SRS components.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the SRS light issue. The same happened to my TT last winter. The airbag sensor warning came on suddenly and I was concerned about automotive safety. My mechanic diagnosed it as a faulty wire connection under the passenger seat, likely disturbed during earlier maintenance work. Just wondering, do you recall roughly how much the repair cost in your case? Also, has the SRS light stayed off since the fix? Sometimes these vehicle safety warnings can be tricky and return unexpectedly.

After getting the airbag repair done, the SRS light issue was completely resolved. The problem turned out to be exactly what I suspected, a loose connection that was disturbed during routine maintenance. The fix cost 95 Euro which covered diagnostic time and repairing the faulty cable connection. The SRS light has stayed off since the repair, confirming the automotive safety systems are working properly now. These airbag system warnings are indeed concerning when they first appear, but often the underlying issue is relatively simple when caught early. My advice based on this experience: always have SRS light issues checked promptly by qualified technicians. While many airbag recall issues make headlines, most SRS warnings stem from basic connection problems that are straightforward to fix when addressed quickly. Good to hear your TT had a similar straightforward resolution. These early Audi models often have wiring that can get disturbed during maintenance, but once properly secured, the fix tends to be permanent.

Thanks everyone for the helpful replies. I wanted to share how this ended for me since others might face similar airbag sensor issues. Took the car to my regular shop last week. The tech ran a proper diagnostic scan which found a loose connector under the passenger seat, just as suspected based on your feedback. The airbag repair itself was quick and cost 85 Euro total, including the diagnostic fee. They showed me how the wiring had shifted during the previous maintenance when they were working in that area. The SRS light turned off immediately after they secured the connection properly. For anyone dealing with sudden SRS warnings after maintenance, definitely worth checking those connections first. The car safety systems are working perfectly now and no warning lights have returned. Really relieved it was a simple fix rather than a major airbag system issue. Thanks again for helping point me in the right direction!
