S320 1997 BAS/SRS Light ON

[RCA918]

Hi,

The '97 S320 BAS/SRS indicator light in on. What does this indicate & how to resolve?

BAS is Brake Assist & SRS is Airbag. both of them need to be reset by plugging the car in to a computer. look in your lacal yellow pages for an independant Mercedes Garage to find and rectify the fault and also reset the warning lights.
Cheers
Don.

The BAS & SRS seem to be on the same 1 warning indicator line?

Will turning the battery off from the car or perhaps checking the fuse resolve this ?

With BAS on, is it indicating its malfuctioning part or just a computer error as you suggest?

You could try disconnecting battery for 5 min's, if not fixed, do as opps mans say's you must get the code read and cleared.

bas /srs

Hi

If The srs light is on it will stay on untill the fault is cleared by a star machine, BAS light will go out when the fault is no longer present after ignition reset, are you sure that your fault display isn't BAS/ ESP this would be more comon

Apologies, you are right its BAS/ESP under 1 light. BAS is Brake Assist * what is ESP? It comes on everytime conering. When the engine restart, it will reset but it will appear again when driving & conering.

Is it right that if I disconnect battery it will be a permanent reset?

Also how do i read the error code & reset it?

Brake light switch

This makes it better, should be just the brake light switch that sits over the brake pedal, and held on with a 17mm nut, 2 or 3 wires.
Cost £10 max and easy to do.
