[W126 Coupe] Replacement air bags-1990 560SEC

[Axel Wulff]

Yes, but every time the system intiates, it runs through a series of 
self-tests and if the SRS contol module is not working properly, an error 
code will come up and the SRS warning light will come on and the system 
shuts down.

A new SRS control module is $2,200 from the dealer, but Potomac have used 
ones they sell for $375.
