My air bag light flashed and then stayed on while driving today. What is the cause? Is it dangerous to continue to drive the car while this light is on before receiving attention?

Hi there,

The ECU has logged a fault code for the SRS system, you will have to get a scan to read this code, you can drive the car safely, but the airbags are in-op till the problem is resolved.
