    Someone/somewhere with a MUT

    So, I swapped my steering wheel and now have an SRS light on. I need to get it cleared before my MOT. Does anyone know of someone or someplace with a MUT who can clear the light for less than the dealership? I'm located in the West Midlands.

    Thanks all!

    the SRS light should not come on if you are just disconnecting the air bag and then plugging back in. i have done that lots of time and the SRS light never came on, the only time the SRS light came on was were i messed with the wiring to the clock spring, it was just a case of having a slightly loose connection and a quick push of the connecters for the airbag sorted it out. the connector was not the one directly on the back of the air bag but the one on the steering column, i thought i had not disturbed this on at all but i must have pulled it some how.

    Bye for Now!

    The light came on because I did not clip the connector all the way into the air bag.

    Definitely! I checked that it was clipped in, but it has two 'stages' of being connected.

    I still need someone to reset this light. Does anyone know of a garage?

    I know that my dad was able to reset my SRS light with the tool he has at his work - I think it was a Snap-On, was like a red tablet running Windows XP with a wireless unit that plugged into the diagnostic port.

    We were able to get to the SRS menu by choosing I think it was a 2001 Galant.

    So - it doesn't necessarily have to be a MUT from a dealer, but you do need to have the right bit of equipment (6 months earlier my dad didn't have a diagnostic computer that would do it...)

    My dad works at a garage in Colchester, Essex, so might be a bit of a trek for you to get to him, and it'd be cheaper to go to a Mitsubishi dealer

    I have a MUT-II which fixes these errors, but that's not much for a help being in Holland...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I'll start phoning round. My local garages have no interest as 'it's an import, we can't do those', so I guess I'll just start telling people that I have a 2001 Galant!

    Do you have a ROM-pack for VR-4, Mark?

    I wish I had Alex... I only have euro Galant ROM packs. Those don't read anything from the VR4, except SRS and ABS systems.

    My wife's brother has a SOLUS (think it's called that) at work that he uses for diagnostic purposes. It's red as well like a laptop with circuit boards for different cars. I have never asked to see if it talks to my leggie but it's been used on all our other cars.

    Yup, that's the one that my dad used to clear the SRS light on my Legnum

    So - if you can find a local garage with a SOLUS, they should be able to do it for you

    Thanks for all the replies. I popped in to a random garage on the way home from work and they happened to have a SOLUS, I told them to try a 2001 Galant and it worked just fine Thanks all!
