IS250C the airbag light suddenly showed up on my cluster gauge any idea how to get rid of it?

 

It's not necessarily the airbag which is triggering the fault. One of my older cars had an airbag warning show up just a couple weeks back, and what triggered the warning was a failure in sensor in the seatbelt buckle. The car knew it could not tell if the driver was belted up, as the sensor to tell it that was not responding, so it threw an SRS warning because a key part of the system was compromised (in this case, it was an easy and inexpensive fix).

But as a general observation, you should get that checked out. Better not find out the hard way that your airbags aren't going to deploy....

 

what was the fix that got rid of the air bag light?

 

In our case, it was just replacing that sensor in the seatbelt buckle. The airbags themselves weren’t the issue, just that sensor. It wasn’t expensive. With something like this, though, it’s not about the light, it’s about finding out (before you need them) if your airbags are actually working or not.

Good luck!
