I changed out my fog lights and the SRS light turned on after the install. any idea how to get rid of it?

 

ok so i read some threads and apparently other peeps have this problem. i tried to take it to the dealership and they told me that they dont wanna mess with my car. is there anyone in the so cal area who can fix this. i definitely don't wanna bring my car to autozone or pep boys. Does anyone know of a dealership who is cool with modified cars and has done this before?

 

mine came on too dealer said its something with the device in the seatbelt. need to get it fixed but havnt found time. clear code and if it comes back on then take it to dealer

 

pep boys or autozone will not have the scanner for the SRS systems anyway. it will need to do to the dealership to get it turned off

 

You will not be able to clear the code with A standard OBDII scanner. You'll need a scanner that can talk to the Mitsu SRS system. Its an expensive program that alot of bodyshops will have installed in thier Snap-on scanners.

Try local bodyshops a dealer will bang you 100+ just to pull the code. Chances are you did one of two things

1. Didnt disconnect the battery while instaling the lights
2. If you did disconnect the battery you disconected the Positive terminal first. For some reason the EVO doesnt like that somtimes and will trip the SRS light. I guess it must see some sort of bad signl in the circuit. Ive seen this happen to a # of EVOs

 

I bet you unplugged the yellow plug near the headlight. Even if you disconnect the negative side of the battery this will generally make that SRS light come on. Try to find a body shop.

 

9 out of 10 times that is the cause of the SRS light coming on .

 

Which plug, so I know to never remove it?

 

 

stupid stupid question but i am going to ask anyways for the hell of it..

Can tripping the SRS light cause the car to go in a "safety" mode and run rich??

 

Nope, SRS is unrelated to performance.

I'm wondering if you can just unplug the battery terminal and wait a while for it to clear itself after you plug the unplugged cables back in?

 

Thanks

And no you cant ive searched that...apparently theres a lithium ion battery in the srs computer system itself and can last for years

 

the crazy thing is that i get the srs light but not all the time... sometimes i do sometimes i dont... i guess i will check the connection mentioned here and see if something is loose...

 

Resurrecting this thread. I have removed this yellow plug many times before but this weekend I forgot to plug it back in and usually I unplug even when the battery isnt disconnected and this time i started the car and it came on and wont go off, so anyone know if this can prob be turned off through evoscan?

 

Easiest thing to do is just goto an Mitsu dealer, quick and painless
