Nope. It wouldn't make any sense to me that any car would honestly. If there is a seatbelt error the airbag is a back up. If a seat belt error causes an airbag error, then doesn't that defeat the purpose?

Nope.So I guess the 3000GT/Stealth doesn't have these sensors?
Also, disconnecting the battery only seems to work if the light was triggered by a low battery condition.
All other errors are stored, and maintained by the SRS unit's internal battery.
They can be cleared by the $ealer..
FWIW the low battery condition can also be cleared by turning the key off and on (don't start the car, just turn it until the dash lights up) 30 times. (I guess that's supposed to be ~ two weeks of driving assuming two trips a day?)
BTW - I agree with Stealthee, tying the seatbelts into the SRS doesn't make any sense..
You might be thinking of the Butt sensor that some systems use to enable the passenger side air bag?

It's part of the safety restraint system and will give a warning to say it's not working. I have seen this on Volvos, Fords and GM. However our cars must not use it.

I think I will give that a try just for the hell of it.
I won't touch the making sense part... That's the engineer's department. I just fix them and don't try to make sense of it all. But in comparison, our restraint system is pretty old school. Most modern systems have seat belt pretensioners that blow the seatbelt buckles back in a crash, as well as body weight sensors in the seats. I fix seatbelt related SRS codes all the time...
So what is the potential issues with the SRS light? Airbag wont work?
I have had this light on for about a year now but never cared since I heard a lot of people get this random light for weird reasons. My seatbelt doesn't feed itself back in but I dont know if that is the reason or not.
As has been stated, a 3S SRS system does not monitor or know anything about the status of the seat belts... The consequences of the light being on vary depending on the code. The system could be fully operational with a code in memory, partially handicapped, or fully shut down... I've never really checked into the failure management strategy on these particular systems, so I don't really know the specifics of how they handle each different code.
Time for a trip to mitsu
