Airbag Warning Light

[dole2000]

After drivng my new 91 LS for about a 1,000 miles the airbag warning light came on. Is it a big deal. Can I just buy one on Ebay? I replaced the one in my wife's 95 LeBaron and it was no big deal.

Thanks,

Bob

Have you done anything to the car lately (repairs). If so it may just need to be reset. Mine came on after I did a power steering repair. I had arched a wrench across my alternator terminal and blew the alternator fuse. It somehow afected my airbag light. I reset it and all is well. Check the fuses first. mine is a 91 LS as well. Do a search on it in the forums and you will find the reset proceedure. It's where I figured it out.

Could be a problem with the airbag system, since the light is on. If it is on- chances are that it will not inflate in a frontal crash. I was told by my local Lexus dealer that "10 year" inspection really was nothing at all and it is not required. I guess back in 1990- they was unsure of how long the system would last.

try to get the error code just to make sure nothing is going on in there. sometimes one malfunction can cause another and so on and so on.....
