Airbag light Toyota Rav4 Fun Cruiser. Please can you help! My above cer (registered 9.01.1995 has "SRS Airbag" on steering wheel, and failed Spanish ITV twice because it does not have an "airbag light" on dashboard. I have shown them the manual for the car which has NO details that the car should have an airbag light on the dashboard, but they are insisting I need to go to a Toyota dealership and get an official certificate to prove it - dealerships are being very unhelpful as car is so old. Could you please advise what I can do? Thank you VERY much.

you need to get in touch with toyota they had a recall on your vehicle due to airbag.THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY CONTAINS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE HOUSED IN A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE (FFC). DUE TO THE SHAPE AND LOCATION OF THE FFC'S RETAINER, THE FFC COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED.
Consequence: IF THE FFC IS DAMAGED, CONNECTIVITY TO THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE COULD BE LOST AND THE AIR BAG DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT TYPICALLY NECESSITATES DEPLOYMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER.

Ok, here it goes;

1. Make SRS Airbag system safe, disconnect BOTH battery leads and wait 10mins for SRS battery to discharge.
2. Remove two torx screws securing Airbag system (rear of steering wheel).
3. Remove Airbag Module.
4. Disconnect SRS connection.
5. Disconnect steering wheel multiplug.
6. Make steering wheel and front wheels central.
7. Hold wheel and release/loosen big-fat-centre-nut.
8. Pull wheel from splines.
9. Remove and discard big-fat-centre-nut.
10. Remove Steering Wheel.

Goodluck!

When the Airbag light (SRS waring) is on or blinks it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the Airbag system. The most common problem that turns the light on is a break in the connection to the steering wheel mounted Airbag, this is due to a rotating ribbon contact that breaks under the steering wheel that connects the airbag to the wiring harness and the diagnostic monitor, the part is called the clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the steering wheel while maintaining a mechanical connection to the airbag mounted on the steering wheel, to replace this part you must disarm the airbag system and remove the steering wheel, this requires a special steering wheel puller tool and that you disarm the Airbag system before you start the work, to do this disconnect the battery negative cable for 1/2 hour prior.
