Air Bag Module

you need to get in touch with toyota they had a recall on your vehicle due to airbag.THE STEERING COLUMN ASSEMBLY CONTAINS ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS TO THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG MODULE HOUSED IN A SPIRAL CABLE ASSEMBLY, WHICH INCLUDES A FLEXIBLE FLAT CABLE (FFC). DUE TO THE SHAPE AND LOCATION OF THE FFC'S RETAINER, THE FFC COULD BECOME DAMAGED WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED.
Consequence: IF THE FFC IS DAMAGED, CONNECTIVITY TO THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG MODULE COULD BE LOST AND THE AIR BAG DEACTIVATED. THE FAILURE OF THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG TO DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT TYPICALLY NECESSITATES DEPLOYMENT INCREASES THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE DRIVER.

If the air bag light is on there is a code stored in the SRS restraint module - air bags ! Wiring problem , impact sensor ! First place to start is have the vehicle check for codes . Not with OBD2 code reader., factory or professional grade scan tool . If you have not worked on air bag systems I recommend you take it to a ASE certified repair shop or the dealer . People have been killed by accidental air bag deployment , by not knowing what's up . Takes special tools !

Hi there:

This fault code is pointing to a fault in the Driver's Side Air Bag module. To correctly diagnose this issue, you will need to run several tests on the components of this system.

Driver air bag high resistance can be caused by:

• - a poor connection or corrosion in the driver air bag module circuits or the air bag sliding contact.
• - an open circuit or high resistance in the air bag sliding contact windings.
• - an open circuit or high resistance in the wiring harness.
• - an open circuit or high resistance in the driver air bag module.
• - an RCM internal concern.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

This picture is forYour air bag diagnostic monitor and also your driver air bag module &sliding contact. Your side air bag modules are at respective side of each front seat

The Supplemental Air Bag Restraint System consists of two basic sub-systems:

• Driver side air bag module (043B13) and passenger side air bag module (044A74).
• Electrical system, including RH primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket (14B004) , LH primary crash front air bag sensor and bracket (14B005) , LH kick panel safing rear air bag sensor and bracket (14B007) and air bag diagnostic monitor (14B056) .

Inspect air bag sliding contact wiring in steering wheel , driver side air bag module , and passenger side air bag module for damaged, chafed or pinched wires.

THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE IS ON THE FLOOR AHEAD OF THE CONSOLE.BECAREFUL YOU CAN CAUSE AIR BAGS EMPLOYMENT ACCIDENTALLY.THEY ARE DANGEROUS.THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO RETRIEVE AIR BAG FAULT CODE.

The Sensing diagnostic module is under the passenger seat under the carpet

The module is under the passenger side seat,under the carpet.You will have to remove the seat to access it easier.Lift up the carpet and it will be mounted to the floor.

Was the ABS module changed at a GM dealer?
The SIR module (air bag) does no recognize the new ABS module, that is what is causing the flashing lamp.
The dealer will be able to reset the SIR module.
Let me know.
