Rear end hit and an SRS light

[mbsickness]

The car is a 94 c280 and it was in gear but pointed up on a steep hill (this is San Francisco afterall). The car rolled back into a car that was behind. Apparently it smacked it pretty hard as the bumper is scratched up and the trunk latch is out of alignment. Now the strange part...the SRS light is now on constantly...strange coincidence or do you think something was triggered such as the tensioning seatbelts?

You might have jarred a sensor loose in the rear. I would get it looked at ASAP, so it doesn't accidentally blow up in your face at an inopportune moment.

Well got the car scanned and came up with codes 171 and 172. According to three sources which supply DTC scanner tools these are bad codes which are errors...conclusion is that the SRS module is toast. Anyone else have run across these codes?
