Default air bag light on and remote entry system not working

Hi all,

I have a 1993 SC 400 that I purchased from new and I noticed yesterday when I started the car the air bag light was on...In addition my remote pushbutton key to lock and unlock the doors was not working.

As far as the remote key not working it could just be the battery which is my next step however as far as the air bag light, I wonder if I might have some bad capacitors in my ECU. I wonder if there is a utube thread on describing how to take out the ECU? In addition, although if I find some bad capacitors which may have created this problem....l may be able to swap out the capacitors myself, however I wonder if anyone knows a reputable company who would restore a 1993 Lexus SC400 ECU??? I called Tanin and they said they are not repairing any more ECU's for some reason.....If you have any ideas I certainly would appreciate it...

Regards,
