Here's a quick check list for most common cost of SRS / Air bag problem.

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger seat belt buckles

Dirty contacts on seat belt connectors (under seats)

Dirty contacts on driver and passenger sides weight sensors (under seat)

Seat covers

Weight on passenger seat
(Example: grocery package trigger SRS / Air Bag light on the way home.)

I recommend you to pass an vacuum over the contacts and use CRC electronic parts cleaner to rule out connectivity problem.

I DO NOT recommend disconnecting the negative battery connector to clean the code(s).

Without the code(s) the dealer will takes "BILLABLE" time to reproduce the problem.

Try disconnecting the battery cable for 30 minutes to reset the computers. If that doesn't work, many places like autozone with read/reset codes. If it comes right back, you want to go see the dealer. Things that go bang, should not be left in an unknown state. As long as the code stays clear, you should be OK.

We have a 2005 Toyota Avalon. The warning light of car and key flashed, now vechile will not start. Why?

Whenever this warning light or any other stays on in the dash it is indicating that the systems control module (or the system sensor in the case of lights like low oil pressure, door open indicators etc.) has detected a fault, it then disables the system (this applies to ABS,TCS, TCM, SRS and BCM faults and others) as long as the light is on. You must now have the dealer hook up a special electronic diagnostic tool and "scan" the system for the fault code that is stored for the problem(s)

Legend of Abbreviations. ABS Antilock brake system.TCS Traction control system, TCM Transmission control module, SRS Supplemental restraint system, BCM Body control module

I recently took my truck in to diagnose an "air bag service" warning light. They told me that I needed to replace two crash sensors in the front to a tune of $400...just wondering if this is a...

That sounds about right "IF" they actually need replacing. Most times it's just a matter of resetting SRS lights. I would find another competent shop and ask them to reset your SRS lights and see if it stays OFF. If your vehicle was in an accident, I would agree with above diagnosis but if it wasn't just have another shop try resetting lights for you.

05 toyta tocma with SRS warning light what is the

The owners handbook states that it indicates a malfunction of the air bags and advises to take the car to a dealer.
But.. sometimes a dodgy connection can cause this on a lot of cars. Sometimes the connectors located under the seat cause trouble on many. Also, the connection to the steering wheel air bag.

To make sure this isn't a one off, you can disconnect your battery for 15 minutes then reconnect. See if the fault clears.

If it doesn't then there's a fault most likely. Whilst the battery is disconnected, have a check of the seat connections if you can.

If there is an SRS fuse, you can just remove that to disable the airbag system, rather than disconnecting the battery itself. This way you don't loose your radio settings etc.
