2001 E430 srs light

I own a 2001 E430 that has been a delight to drive.
Recently the SRS light came on along with the passenger airbag light on the
console.
My question is, are the 2 conneted?
Can the airbag be turned back on?
Can the SRS light be reset?
Thanks

Yes, they are connected.

Most likely cause is a faulty seat sensor.

You need to go to dealer or someone who can reset SRS after the triggered is found and eliminated. An OBDII just won't do it.

Reading & resetting SRS system requires a scanner designed for Mercedes.

I too have the SRS light on (99 E430) and my inpsection is up in a few days, I checked with a local repair shop I've used in the past and they want $90 to read the SRS code. My questions are...

(i) Do I need the SRS resolved to pass an inspection?
(ii) Will I need to pay once to get the SRS code read and then again (after I address the problem) to have it reset?

Thanks,

Peter
