Hi there,

The E.C.U. has detected and logged a fault with in the S.R.S. system, you will have to retrieve the fault code to determine the problem, Air bags are dangerous, and expensive if you do something wrong, take it to a mechanic first to read the code so at least you know what is wrong, while the light is active, the airbag is isolated and will not deploy in a accident.
