Airbag Light Started Blinking - 2002 Rx300 (no Accident)

[grataballi]

Our 2002 RX300 just developed an airbag blinking light fault on the dash warning lights. I've looked through the forum, and it seems that there was a possibility of resetting this by disconnecting the battery for a minute or so, and reconnecting.

This didn't work - the vehicle has never been in an accident, nor had any service that would require touching the airbag, sensors, seatbelts, etc.

The light simply started blinking; any advise out there greatly appreciated (aside from..."don't look at it"!)

I understand that the sensor could be faulty - is that something that Lexus would normally cover? 58K miles since new - always $erviced by Lexu$.

thanks in advance,

G

you can always swing by the dealer and maybe they can fix it for you free of cost...................

...the same dealer that wanted $1000 to turn 4 rotors and replace the pads...I don't think so! But thanks for the advice. Was hoping that someone had seen this and remedied the same.

I am having the same problem. Took it to dealership 3 times, they said no code was found and resetted 3 times. It has been almost 2 years and it is still blinking. I need to bring it back again. Airbag is 6yrs/100,000miles. My vehicle is only 50k and is still less than 6yrs.

Did you ever find the solution for yours?
