What's the problem, presumably airbag?

Another tip - put in your location - somebody near by might have a diagnostic system you can use. (I do)

I usually remove the steering wheel and put on a nice non-airbag steering wheel.
Then remove the airbag ecu and associated wiring

One thing you can try is to disconnect and reconnect the yellow plug under each front seat half a dozen times.They are the plugs for the seat belt pretensioners,they suffer from poor contacts so put the warning light after the DCU self tests at key on.
The action of pulling the plugs apart then back together scratches the surface of the connectors making them less resistant to the passage of electricity.

You don't have a D2 then, what u can do is check the rotary coupler under the steering wheel for wear and lose connections.

My SRS light was coming on with a fault drivers side circuit open, didnt care just left it

Last week left my disco on ignition for about 10 mins whilst ****ing about setting the windscreen washers and somehow it cleared the fault, light pops up then goes off when engine starts as it should……no idea why its fixed but I'm not complaining
