Air Bag Warning Light
My air bag warning light came on a few days ago on my '08 250. Any idea why this would be happening? I assume it is some issue with the air bag system but no idea what. I made an appt to take to dealer next week. I will try not to have an accident until then!

Hey, my airbag light has been on for as long as i can remember. The weird thing is, sometimes its on and sometimes its not. I really dont feel like paying to have this checked out though. So i havent... Tell me how it goes, if its urgent then ill get mine checked out too lol.

guys lol get it fixed.. I had the same problem and its a airbag sensor TSIB. With the light on, NONE of your airbags work so if you get into an accident your screwed.
I had to "Pay" to get it checked out but the dealer fixes the TSIB with no charge to you in the end.
The sensor goes behind the entire dash and along the door supposedly so make sure to inspect they didnt ***** up your dash. Mine has two small rips in it
Needless to say the dealer cut all of my aftermarket items behind the dash without my permission and I will never go to that dealer again.

Yes, I beleive it is the SRS light- looks like a seated person with a round bag in front of him her?). I must have missed this TSIB as it appeared that it only applied to the 2006 models and mine is an '08. I have brought this car if for SO many recalls and TSIB's and my 4 year warranty runs out in Nov. Still having vibration at idle even after the top end cleaning. Had a 97 ES 300 before this for 10 years with no problems except a smog issue repair for $300 at year 9. What has happened with Lexus????

1) Print off the TSIB and bring it to the dealership
2) Explain that this is a major safety issue and that if they won't cover it, you'll be calling Lexus Corporate and filing a complaint with the NHTSA

Just remember if you out your factory warranty. You still have to pay them to find if that the issue or not. I know sound wrong but that what Lexus does. Reason being papahoff Had to pay for the testing done. Since my car had aftermarket stuff they said if I did anything electrical tapping to my car it would void and I be paying for the service fix.

SWEET! im not over 70k miles I just called the same rep i was talking to who told me it cant be done, and he was being a total douche. I politely told him that other memebers on a forum im involved on told me that had the same issue and it is covered by this TSB for 72 months or 70k miles. He told me that it could be anything, and either way they will charge me for diagnosis. Plus he was being totally condesending. Probably because i proved him wrong, and that im 19. I seriously feel like i dont get treated with nearly the same respect as older adults...Im calling corporate to figure this out. Thanks guys!
