airbag light is on. i have not been in any accident. - Toyota Yaris Forums

zahirrahman · 09-23-2010, 12:50 PM

My airbag light mysteriously appear today. I had my windshield replaced 1 week ago other than that i have not been into anything. i am wondering if the windshield has anything to do with the air bag light going off? I took it to autozone they have told me to pull the power on the car and leave it for awhile. so right now the car is without the battery hooked up. do u guys think that would reset the light? if there is a problem what do u guys think it would be?

Check back in after you've reconnected the battery. Could have been a phantom blip. We'll see if indicator is still on once powered up again.

Also, what year is your car?

Some DTCs for the SRS ECU can be reset with a power off, but most can't.

Check out this thread for how to make it flash the light to tell you why it's not happy:

Try the jumper thing to get it to report the codes, then we'll have a better idea of what is wrong.

sometimes the front right passenger airbag light goes on if there is something heavy sitting on the front right passenger seat - u canalso get an annoying fasten seatbelt warning as well
