2004 toyota land cruiser airbag light is on

2004 toyota land cruiser air bag light is on about five weeks ago my wife ran into a stop sign at about 3 mph and yesterday five weeks later the airbag light came on. Is it possible that this incidence caused the light to come on or is this just a coincidence? Is there a way to clear this or will I have to bring the car to a toyota dealer?

You may have upset the sensor on the chassis rail which has set off the light,it can take a while to set off ,the damage is minimal and the sensor is slow to crack internally or fail,you can try to disconnect the battery for 1 hour or so but no guarantees on that but even so it can work ,if the light comes back on you may need to see a dealer ,check at the front of the rails under hood for damage of any kind

Likely a coincedence. unhook the battery for about 15 minutes to reset the code that causes the light to come on. hook it back up and it should be fine. if the radio in your vehicle is of the anti theft variety make sure you know the code and how to enter it before you unhook the battery. this should reset it. if the light comes back on you should have it checked. also if you are in the states you can drop by an autozone and they will scan the codes for free and let you know what is wrong. do this before you unhook the battery or if you do this and the code (light) comes back on after the reset.

Satelie air bag sensor on toyota landcruiser 4.5 v8 turbo desiel 79 seriues where abouts is it

I think, Satellite has nothing to do with the air bags. Satellite is concerned with the navigation system. The Sonar sensors are located on the upper side of the dash board for the climate control system.
Moreover there is a central sensor assembly which is the integral part of SRS system.

My 2007 toyota prado is having a/c problem. after awhile of switching on, the a/c switch light is blinking and also the recirculating air switch changed automatically to outside air intake switch on....

Check to see if the clutch on the A/C compressor is turning with A/C on max. If not then the clutch is bad or a fuse blown. Check Freon level or have a shop do a leak test. If you replace the compressor always replace the dryer as well

Check light on airbag light on low brake performance, pad just replaced 2 weeks ago What can be the problem, please? Venu

to determine the reason for the check engine light, bring your vehicle to a local autozone to have it scanned for this (its free). air bag light indicates air bag system malf, possible faulty impact sensors. As for the brakes, I recommend bringing back to the shop where they performed the repair. They need to re-bleed the system!!

2009 Sienna Airbag on Drivers side is off.

I hope you did not purchase your Toyota used; one of the worst scams around is selling used vehicles with missing or useless air bags.  The replacement cost on these is in the upper 3 digits. Because of the possibility of triggering the air bag by accident, I don't advise that someone not trained should attempt to troubleshoot these.

I changed the steering coloumn and my airbag light flashes

clockspring is behind steering wheel.

info

If the computer in the air bag diagnostic monitor detects an open in the air bag indicator circuit and if another system fault exists, then the air bag diagnostic monitor will turn on its internal tone generator (beeper). The beep pattern is five sets of five beeps. The pattern is repeated every 30 minutes while the ignition switch is in the ON position. The five beeps do not indicate a code five or any other code. The air bag indicator circuitry must be repaired before the diagnostic trouble code can be read.
