Default Intermittent airbag light

'09 ES350. Car was wrecked and rebuilt. All deployed airbags, all four seat belts and wheel clockspring were replaced, control module was reset. Drove for months with no problems, then began getting airbag warning light: one time start the car up and drive, no warning light; next time, warning light is illuminated; next time, not, etc. Checked for airbag DTCs (by connecting #4 and #13 pins - forget what they're called) - no codes stored, just the 2-per-second steady flash. How can you get a warning light with no DTC? How can a warning light turn itself off? Thanks much for any suggestions.

Default Possible cause for intermittent airbag light?

Does anyone have any experience with a seat belt buckle end causing an airbag warning light? I had to replace the front passenger belt buckle end recently, and wondered whether that, or possibly another defective buckle end that I haven't recognized might be causing the intermittent light? Thanks!

Most reputable body shops have lifetime guarantees on their work - maybe have them check it out?
