1) Congratulations!
2) Is the module remounted? If not, it may be unhappy with not being mounted mostly flat.

Humm, could be vibration frequency range, but I've not worked with air bag modules. Seems like some sort of longer time frame diagnostics though...
In most makes faults in the SRS module are not self clearing. Did you replace the seatbelt tensioners and steering wheel clockspring? They are all one time use (just like the SRS module, and any crash sensors).
unbelievable! I guess the standards for safety are really that low in maryland...
It's the thing that the airbag plugs into, that connects the electrical items on the wheel to the rest of the car.
You can possibly test it with a meter, depending on how its designed.

I just put the SRS module back in. That went in pretty easy but the suspension module was a huge pain.
I ended up grinding the front 1.5" of that black plastic shroud off. It doesn't seem to do anything for it and then it slides right back in place easy.
After hacking that extra plastic off the hardest part by far was reattaching the passenger side wire harness to it. It took me a solid hour of trying and finally I pulled the module back out and then fished out the harness near the passenger side footwell and just practiced a couple times putting it on (its not a straighforward plug in harness, it has a sliding clasp) which helped me then be able to get it done in that tight space in another few minutes of trying.
Was way more time I wanted to spend in that tight space but its done. I am putting the curtain bags in and reinstalling the drivers seat. Hopefully I don't get an SRS light anymore.
With yours staying on something is not right in your SRS system in could be: any airback, seatbelt, buckle pretensioner, or impact sensors. Getting the SRS scanned would be the easiest way to troubleshoot or you can start unplugging all those compenents and doing an ohm test.
good luck and wish me luck,.
There are different levels of inspection. The first inspection checks the following:
1) Car is roadworthy
- All major body parts (bumper, fender, hood, etc) are properly attached
- Vehicle must be capable of being driven under its own power
Passing the first inspection allows the vehicle to be registered and temporarily tagged for 30 days in order to perform the state (safety) inspection. After the safety inspection, there is a final emissions inspection (which I imagine will not applicable for a Tesla).
Hi,
Was just rereading the manual regarding airbags, it says the occupancy sensor can take 6 seconds to register, given the delay in error reporting you are seeing, that might be a cause.
"
Note: It takes approximately six seconds after
you power on Model X for the occupancy
sensor to report accurate status of the front
passenger airbag. As a result, when you
first
power on Model X, even in situations when it
should be OFF because the passenger seat is
either empty or carrying a weight of 20 lbs (9
kg) or less, the touchscreen will take about six
seconds to display the status, PASS AIRBAG
OFF. If it fails to do so, contact Tesla service
immediately and seat passengers in the rear
seating positions only."
My apologizes @mongo; I did not mention something that is quite important and most likely the obvious cause.
So, when removing the dash airbag, I noticed it is dual stage hence the reason it has two connectors (red/yellow). Unfortunately, when the old airbag deployed, the yellow connector melted onto the airbag. Thus, when attempting to remove the connector, the plastic cover naturally broke. However, I didn’t feel it was a big deal at the time because I was still able to connect the two metal pieces of the connector onto the new airbag. Also, when testing the ohms reading on the squib of the SRS module connector I was getting a reading; although in retrospect, I'm not sure if it was between 2-3ohms.
So I think the cause is related to the yellow pigtail connector. Here are some photos, please let me know what you think:

I can see that connector having issues
. Am I seeing correctly that the housing around the pins is missing? Are the pins blade style or circular?Seems like that type of problem would cause a fault sooner though.

The housing is missing (melted on the old airbag). The pins style should be identical to the red connector (I would imagine). I do agree though, the connector seems damaged and is most likely the cause.
Evidently, a good indicator of whether the SRS airbag module is reset and good, is for the airbag light to go off once the car starts, at which point it checks if faults exist, if so, the light comes back on, otherwise it stays off.
Another way to check of the SRS airbag module is reset and good, is to buckle the seat belt, and if the seatbelt light goes off, then the SRS airbag module is operating properly.
