Airbag Light

Before I get jumped and told to search...... I've looked and nothing answered my question clearly. I have a srs/airbag light on the P/o said he replaced the clock spring but never reset the light.... I can read the codes I get b1801 and b1811 I clear them and they come right back. Shows the codes current and in history... Here's the kicker everything online well 98% say clock spring but my steering wheel controls, horn, and cruise all work!!!! I also read it may have sent a hard code to the control module and that it may need to be reset....? But most of the posts on resetting the module are due to an accident not a clock spring. Can anyone share some light on this. The dealer want $320 for a new clock spring. Thanks in advance (fyi I hate dash lights)

 

Clock spring.

 

Do your blinkers work? There is a fuse in the cabin fuse box that when blown will make the airbag light pop up. And your turn signals wont work.

 

turn signals and wipers all work everything works as it should just has the airbag light on

 

Have you checked the sensors under the seats?

 

Yes under the seats all look good no broke wires and all plugged in

 

When my spiral cable went bad, only symptoms were random dash lights coning on, one of which was the airbag light. Everything else worked... Except the airbag... when I got in an accident it didn't deploy. Personally, I glad it didn't, lol. Cars and trucks get 'totalled' by insurance all the time when airbags go off in minor accidents. I had it replaced under recall after the accident.

 

Whoever replaced the clock spring must of f'ed it up or used a cheap ebay one. I suggest replacing the clock spring with oem one

 

That’s what I read if you get a cheap one it might not work..... I’m gonna look online and try to find a oem one for a better deal then my local Toyota sells it for. Its $320 and they need to order it

 

I called and checked recalls there’s no clock spring recall for my truck it ended in 2010... I gotta pay for it according to the dealer

 

Mine was a bad left impact sensor (mounted on the front bumper reinforcement)

 

I’ll have to double check those it does have a aftermarket allpro front bumper hopefully they didn’t jack up the impact sensors




The guy I bought it from just txt me back and said it was a aftermarket clock spring not a oem one

 

Hmm.. that's baloney. Either he used a cheapie or never replaced it.

Make sure its plugged in all the way

 

Funny you say that it wasn’t plugged in all the way all when I got the truck.... I plugged it all the way in and it still wouldn’t clear... he did txt me again and say the light was not on till after he replace it ... he replace it cause the horn didn’t work and when he did the light came on and he used a cheap $50 eBay one

 

Anyone have a link to oem parts online for cheaper then the dealer

 

Google the part number.

Check TacomaWorld posts, alot of people had trouble with cheapo's. If your going to change the cable I'd buy OEM. You should be able to order one for cheaper than that.
