Forgive me for being a bit dumb, but if the SRS FAULT light is displayed, isn't that because there is a FAULT, and needs dealing with? Surely, simply resetting the warning light doesn't cure the FAULT - or does it?

The same applies to the service interval (Assyst) - doesn't that mean the car is due for a SERVICE.? If you have a service completed by a garage other than a MB specialist and they don't know how to reset Assyst, then questions need to be asked of the garages ability to correctly service an MB, surely??

By the way - There are instructions the the vehicles handbook to reset Assyst - it doesn't need an electronic gizzmo to do it..!!

Perhaps the questioner has rectified a previous fault and simply needs to reset the system ....or, inadvertently triggered the light whilst doing other work .....either way, i would expect that he is aware of the reason for the lightbeing lit...... :idea:

This device will only clear the lamp when the fault has gone, so the system must be working before it will put out the lamp.


I see that its only good for cars up to about 1997-8 with the 38 pin socket
