Default Air Bag Light Blinking

Took it in to LEXUS and they want $112 to just look at it. I thought it was covered but alas no. Any advice on a fix, re-set?

I do not know, you could try. Is it OBD II type....then you could clear the diagnostic faults.

Had someting similar about 6 months ago, it was a sensor in the seatbelt latch. I had it fixed at a small town Toyota dealer for about $150.

I checked the codes nothing came up. Now the light only blinks once or twice a day. I am keeping the OBD reader in the car so when it happens again I will be ready
