toothlesrooster Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 I replaced both of my passenger side doors from a donor car from 2012. Same engine and seemingly same options. Do I need to take it to a dealer to have it flashed? Both doors were kind of caved in after a co-worker backed into my vehicle. I had no airbag lights before swapping the doors, the lights have been on since. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGuru Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Check the front door side impact sensor - the YE-OG and BU-WH wires in the connector at the door boot. Disconnect the battery before you meter anything related to the SRS. Use only a DMM - absolutely NO TEST LAMP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothlesrooster Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 I really haven't done any electrical testing like this. What am I looking for? Is this on the front door boot or both? I replaced both front and rear passenger side door. And like I said, no issues with the old doors. Thanks for the help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eGuru Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Only the front doors contain impact sensors. Possibly the replacement door has a defective sensor, wiring, or connector. Did you do the door replacement with the battery disconnected? Has the battery been disconnected since the swap was completed? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothlesrooster Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 The battery was not disconnected when we swapped the doors but I have an extra battery and did swap it to test. The battery has been removed twice, but not for more than a minute or so. Is there a reset procedure? I know on my wife's Dodge Journey, the reset procedure is to remove the battery completely and then touch the negative and positive cables together for so many seconds. Then re-install the battery. It honestly didn't even dawn on me to disconnect the battery when doing a door swap. I guess I could pull the impact sensor out of the old door and install it in the new door. Is the impact sensor a one-time use kind of thing? The car I got the door from was a front end collision. The air bags didn't deploy though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionff Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 If you can get your hands on an advanced code reader (not a dealer tool), you can read the code to find the source of the error code. You can reset the code too, and it may not come back if you're lucky. There could a number of causes for your error code, none of us can diagnose it from our chairs. Any mechanic (backyard /weekend mechanics too) will have the advanced code reader, which reads & resets ABS and SRS codes, I even have one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothlesrooster Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) I have a Urich ZR8 and have checked for codes. Mine isn't the base model and has quite a few features for the price but it doesn't read SRS codes. I'm not asking for everyone else to diagnose my problems, I'm just needing to be pointed in the general direction and so far, you all have done that. I still have my old doors and am going to swap out my impact sensor as it was working fine before I replaced the doors. Thank you all for your help so far. If this doesn't work I'll look into borrowing or finding someone with a more advanced scanner that can tell me exactly what my SRS error is.

toothlesrooster Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Sorry, misspelled that. It's a Zurich ZR8. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
