On april 21, 2015 I had my car in the dealer for a oil change etc. When I left the dealer I noticed that my air bag light was on located on the dash and also the air bag light stated that it was off. I went back to the dealer and showed him what happened and he stated that it was a computer problem and it would cost me around $700.00 to repair the computer. I told him it was not on when I brought the car in and now it is on. I only have approx., 48,000 on this car and I purchased it new in nov. 2005. He did not fix it and I am concerned that if I get into a accident the airbag system will not work. I do not have the $700.00 to get it fixed. I do not believe what he told me, it must be something else with the airbag system. As long as the airbag lights are on it will not pass state inspection. I need it fixed. Thank you.

Air bag light came on and it is still on.

Air bag light came on intermittently for weeks before coming on in february 2015. Thinking it was not urgent, I took the car into the dealership and they ran the code. They informed me that the air bag computer sensor had failed which was located in the passenger seat and had to be replaced, totally $3300 for parts. Air bags may not deploy properly or deploy unexpectedly until fixed. Expensive repair for car nearing end of its life.

2006 toyota camry airbag light stays on all the time

Filed Apr 9, 2014 · Airbags · 48,750 miles · VA

Wife was driving and noted that the red airbag warning light had gone on. We stopped. I moved the seat and began driving. The airbag warning light was off. The light remained off until early 2014, when it began alternating periods of on and off. On march 27, 2014, we took our camry to our toyota dealer. The dealer wrote (report is in the computer holdings of toyota motor sales, u.s.a.): "found the seat track floor covering has come loose which once the seat has moved it caused the cover to [be] pushed against the airbag connector underneath the seat. This causes the light to come on due to no communication at the drivers side airbag squib connector. (code b1821)" the dealer repaired the wiring. It is evident now that each time my wife or I moved the driver's seat there was a possibility of disruption of the airbag electrical circuit. The seat is driven by an electric motor, so there was no chance we disrupted the wiring as might happen with a manually readjusted seat. This is a serious safety defect caused by poor engineering design and not a "wear and tear" issue. The airbag electrical circuit should have been designed so as to have been safe from disruption by movement of the driver's-side seat. On april 9, 2014, toyota announced a recall for an airbag electrical connection design defect--in the steering column rather than under the seat--similar to what we experienced. Based on our experience, the recall does not go as far as it should have.
