Does anyone have a diagnostic system to get rid of the srs light on a later p38 Range Rover in the Wiltshire area?

Later models tend to put the light out themselves once the issue has been sorted. Is it EDC gems or Thor?

It’s an EDC I don’t really know what the issue is to begin with and my garage that I normally take too doesn’t have the specific diagnostic equipment to read the srs module.

Nanocom for edc (06?), testbook t4 or a faultmate.
There may be others that read it to certain degrees but these are ones I would trust.

Maybe someone around you will be willing to accept a day out with tea and biccies?

So another thing to mention is a battery with low voltage can throw up all sorts of faults including srs, can you check the battery voltage?
Simple fixes are worth checking beforehand and diagnostics aren’t reliable with a low battery anyhow

Any Nanocom for P38 should read the SRS system. Only the engine ECU's require unlock codes. If you want to pop up to Langley I could take a quick look. No promises on fixes though.

Most likely it's a bad connection on one of the seat airbags, steering wheel clock spring. Do all the buttons on the wheel work ?

Langley as in slough, and most of the button work on the steering wheel

The later models clear the light when the fault is fixed

What year is the car? As said, likely to be a bad connection, the connector under the drivers seat if it has side airbags being the common cause. Fix the fault and it will clear automatically.

2000 EDC

So it has side airbags, check the under seat connector. If you have buttons that do not work on the steering wheel, then it may also be that the rotary coupler has failed.

Yes.

BTW, as well as one of the connectors, it could also be a bulb failure in the cluster. There's two bulbs, & if one fails the other SRS light stays on.

The fault will keep coming back till you repair it took ages to cure mine

Just find all the srs plugs and hard wire them anyway.
Have a client with a 2000 38'. Serious water ingress in the past. We just took all the connectors out for the srs system. Put an end to that issue. Check the bulbs and replace all of them while you've got the clocks out.

I might be in Reading next week, but don't know what day yet. If you're nearby I can bring my Nanocom.
