Check your battery connections
The age of your X will certainly dictate that it should be on its 2nd battery, if not third by now. If the battery was recently change by you, or by whomever you obtained it from recently and then the code came up you will want to double check the 'safety trip connection' (not sure the terminology of the part) on the negative connection. That is, on the negative connection terminal there is also an additional connection that will act as safety trip to disconnect the connection to the battery in the event of an accident.
As with all battery work you will want to work safety first and ensure that you properly remove and shield both terminals a terminal connections from accidentally creating a circuit or accidental conduction on metal by utilizing something non conductive.
If this connection was compromised in that the wires were loosened when connecting/reconnecting a battery, and then those wires are no longer shielded an now in some way touching either each other or its terminal connection (note not the [-] connection, but its own), then it will throw a code that cannot be cleared until you solve that problem. In my case, I had the airbag light on because this connection was accidentally loosened, the wire rose up in the plastic harness/housing and was touching its terminal. Solved by examining battery connections and said safety terminal. Pushing wire back down in proper place and shielding with proper elec. tape, clearing code.
Let us know if this was the culprit and good luck.
As upallnight mentioned, should it be anything other as in something actually affecting your SRS system you will want to have it professionally looked at for your safety.
