If you do not fully understand the airbag system, you shouldn't mess with it. Airbags can be as dangerous and deadly, as easily as they can save a life. Your airbag light is telling you that you have no airbags at this time. It's worth the expense to get the system fixed by a professional, rather than chance a collision without operable airbags.

Toyota double cabin (Vigo) model KUN25R (2016). Air bag light is continuously 'ON'. Any short cut solution to rectify.

A code read is needed to indicate the fault...
Usually the airbag light doesn't exclusively indicate an airbag problem - the system monitors the SRS (supplemental restraint system) that includes the pyrotechnics fitted into seat belt pretensioners. You might be lucky and discover one has just become disconnected.

Observe the safety precautions in the repair manual before working on the system - disconnect the battery well in advance to allow the system to discharge and don't check anything with an ohm meter...

Mazda 7 airbags replaced but airbag sign on constantly on dashboard

It could indicate there is still a fault, or the technician never cleared the alert. You should take it back to the dealer for them to rectify.

Has my 2000 Camry been recalled?

Yes, they were, worldwide. Takata manufactured airbags are at fault. Ring or visit your nearest dealer with your VIN number at hand. They can say whether it was rectified before you bought it, or whether you should have it fixed. If they say your car is not affected, ask for evidence of that, as the fault is life-threatening in certain circumstances.

Print Email Problem with Toyota Cars & Trucks How to off airbag light Say on my airbag how to off What's your problem?

The light for the Airbag/SRS system is on because the system control module has sensed a fault and turned off the airbag SRS system. What you must do now is have a scan done of the airbag module to see what fault codes show up in the airbag modules memory.

2007 denali service air bag light is on. how do i reset it.

{: ) You can't. It will always indicate on your cluster until the problem has been rectified, or if the airbag system detected no fault. But even then, if the light or message come and go, you should have it scanned to determine the exact cause. Sometimes it's just a connector issue, and I hope you get lucky enough that its's just that. Goodluck.

I was hit from behind by another car; and the air bags did not infralte. the problem is that the air ba light came on and the passenger set belt airbag indicator is always off. Toyota Camry 2004 Model

The airbags are meant to inflate only on frontal impact as that is when the driver and passenger tend to bend forward and can get injured. When hit from the back the driver and other tend to sink into the seats, so there is no chance of hitting the steering or dashboard. Why the passenger's airbag light came on or whatever may be some electrical fault as a result of the impact. That should be rectified to ensure proper functioning of the seat belt and the airbags and not raise a false alarm.

Vw Passat 1998 B5 - Fail on display

The fail just tells you there is a fault and you need to find out what is causing it. In your case it is the airbag. It's over 10 years old and I'm afraid that's about the limit on an airbag. Sometimes disconnectong and reconnecting the airbag will fix it but don't hold your breath

Air bag light on golf 1.4 petrolwant go ou t

When the airbag light is on it means a fault has occurred in the system and the airbag diagnostic monitor has disabled the 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 th clock spring contact, a coiled up ribbon electrical contact that turns with the wheel
