I really need to know what's wrong....

My SRS (secondary restraint system) idiot light is on. I had it checked and the code is DTC 1-2. The dealer told me it says something about a resistance measurement, in the book, but even they couldn't tell me what's wrong. They went on to say that it isn't serious so I've been driving it like that for a few months now. I just don't feel very good practising my speech that it is the "secondary restraint system is active and ready" indicator. :?

If anyone can tell me what needs replacing, how hard it is and the cost, I'd really like to remedy this.

Thanks guys and gals.

Can you point me in the right direction to get started on this since I have never taken it apart and I don't know what to measure and where. - Thanks.

Way beyond beginner skill level. As Yves stated the "boom" factor.

_ANY_ "measurements" on the SRS system _REQUIRES_ a good understanding of electricity and the consequences of doing something "wrong".

The light being on means a fault has been detected and the air bag _may_ NOT correctly inflate in case of an accident.

HTH! :)
