I have been having problems with my SRS light coming on. After resettting the system with the paperclip method, it will stay off anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks. When I extract the trouble code, I get the following sequence:

1 long pause
1 long light
1 long pause
SRS light stays on

Does anybody know what this sequence means and if it's valid? From what I've read, there should be a main code and a sub-code, which would make mine a 1-0.

Thanks...

 

thats 1-1 open on the drivers side inflater. check if it's pluged in also does the horn & cruise control work ? if not the clocksping cable is bad.

 

Yes, horn and cruise work. I reset the light and it's been off for about a week. Yesterday I swapped places with someone who was driving my car and didn't shut the engine off during this. When I got in the driver's seat, I moved the seat forward and buckled the seat belt. The SRS light came on (I think it was right after I connected the seat belt) and stayed on. When I got to where I was going, about 10 miles away, the light was still on. I turned the car off and then resetarted it about 5 minutes later. The SRS light went on for 6 seconds, like normal, then went off. This morning it was normal too.

I'm confused... I thought if the SRS was tripped it would not go off unless the computer was reset. Any other ideas?
