When the SRS lamp is illuminated then the safety aspects of this system may have undesirable results during an accident. Personally, I believe the only credible people who can honestly say the airbags "will not go off when the SRS light is on" are the engineers and the lawyers. In the US I would think that the attorneys had a lot of influence on the engineering team with respect to functionality and liability. The big legal IF,

IFthe SRS light is on and the vehicle is involved in an accident then who is liable IF the airbags do not deploy?

If your SRS system has numerous DTC’s then I would like to suggest clearing the codes and see which ones return. To have a number of different codes suggest to me that the battery was dead and someone decided to jump start the car. Chances are pretty good that a number of the DTC’s were generated during the process. I might also suggest having the version coding double checked to ensure that the software settings are correct. Seems unusual to have that many codes unless the settings are incorrect OR the SRS control unit is faulty.
