I'm looking at a new project, its a 99 tacoma. Air bag light is on, will this fail the vehicle for state inspections? Can I disable it, or is it going to be one of those $1000+ trips to the dealer to make it right? (truck was involved in a minor front end collision at some point in its life, I don't think the bags deployed)

air bag light has nothing to do with state inspections, only the check engine light... take the bulb out if it bothers you

yeah it wont matter.

you dont have to get a dealer to fix it.

if all the airbags have been replaced, then they probably forgot to replace the airbag controller.

in a toyota, disconnect the battery for a couple minutes and it should get rid of it. Unless there is still a problem.

If clearing the light dosent work, just get someone with a scantool that will read the toyota SRS system to pull the fault for you. It could be bad clockspring, pretensioner, etc etc.

^ thats probably what I'll do primer. I'm getting a killer deal on this truck, its a bit beat especially for being a 99, but the price is right. I'll make a thread about it when I pick it up 2morrow.
