Will my 2001 Acura CL pass a California Smog test if the SRS light is on?

The light is on, but no other lights are. Will it pass smog? It passed the last time but I didn't own the car at the time.


I read somewhere else that the car needs to be driven for about 200mi for it to "reset" is that true?|||SRS light is regarding your airbags, so unrelated to a smog test.





It will not reset until you hook up a high end scanner to delete the code.|||The SRS light means there is a problem with your Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). This means you have a problem with your air bags and no amount of driving will reset the light. You will need to have your car hooked up to a scan tool to find the exact problem.





The SRS light being on will have no effect on the emissions coming out of your car and therefore have no effect on your smog test.|||That light means that something is not safe, could be simple like a seatbelt sensor. Has nothing to do with smog test|||Yes your car will pass a smog test with the SRS light on.


But the SRS light is for your airbag system and is there for your safety and it being on indicates that there is a problem with this system that will need to be looked at and repaired. Unfortunately it will not go away by itself.
