You should be able to check the codes with a paperclip. Google the procedure or use the Helms manual if you have one.

i have tried to check the codes as per the manual (paperclip) but the light stays on steady. i also talked to the dealer today and theyhave no explanation why the light would stay on steady.
i wonder if the SRS computor would require to be reflashed or can it be read when removed from the car using an OBD 1 reader.
any thoughts

did you just get this car, or... is there any history to the car..
if not just reset the thing.. theres a method to do that.

Hi asianpoet
i have had the car since brand new, so i know it extremely well.
what happened was the drain for the a/c was plugged and water built up in the heater area. i turned a corner and out came the water (pretty cold) but it came out right in the middle of the of heater box just off to the side of where the srs computor is. about a week later the srs light came on and i have not been able to reset since.

if that module got wet it is prolly shot... that explains why the light wont clear.

Oh wow, it got wet? I would get a new control unit from a junkyard...

yeh that is what i am suspecting but i was just trying to be sure.
i wondered if any of you had run into this type of thing before where the unit will not test
