Airbag Warning Light On: Roadside Help in Malaysia for Singapore Cars | MyMechanic
The airbag (SRS) light is the one dashboard icon that should never be ignored. It signals that one or more parts of the restraint system may be offline, so airbags might not deploy in a crash.
MyMechanic responds with a safety-first plan that keeps everyone calm, informed, and moving toward a proper fix for Singapore-registered vehicles in Malaysia.
What to Do Immediately
Stay composed and drive defensively; increase following distance and avoid aggressive maneuvers.
If other warnings appear (battery, ABS), pull over safely and request assistance.
Do not attempt to remove seats, unplug sensors, or poke around connectors.
Share symptoms with MyMechanic: when the light appeared and any recent events (bumps, rain, etc.).
Why the Airbag (SRS) Light Turns On
Seat belt and buckle sensors: a faulty switch can disable the system.
Clock spring and steering controls: worn parts break communication with the driver airbag.
Impact sensors and wiring: corrosion, moisture, or minor bumps can trigger a fault.
Battery or voltage issues: weak batteries or jump-starts can set SRS codes.

Prevention and Good Habits
