04 LS430 Seatbelt red light
About a year ago, this warning light in the dash came on. Dealer says that its ok; said that the car has over 200k miles and that the seat is squished down cause I am a big guy. Dealer DID see the light go off briefly while it was driven by test staff but it does not turn off anymore at all. Dealer said that parts for the seat sensor are $1,200 alone and are not returnable if problem is not fixed.
If it would work, I would even buy a used driver's seat. They suggested I do nothing and that the car is safe. I am not secure in this. I would love to hear some suggestions. Please help!

And how can we change thread title to say Airbag instead of Seatbelt?

Please note that there are 4 types of DTC's:
B = Body (including A/C and airbag)
C - Chassis (including ABS)
P = Powertrain (engine and transmission/gearbox)
U = User Network (including wiring Bus / UART)
Consumer DTC readers are typically designed to read only the "P" DTC's. My neighborhood AutoZone has a high-end DTC reader that can read "B" DTC's (at no charge), so give them a try.
Attached is a listing of all SRS-related "B" DTC's, and troubleshooting procedures for B1650. Let me know what DTC you get from the car and I'll try to get you the troubleshooting procedures for it.

Cannot find a code reader....
I have called all over Chicago land and all I find are the code readers for the check engine light. Auto zone, Pep Boys, etc do not have the reader for the kind of codes we need to look for here. Any ideas out there on where I am likely to find the right reader besides Lexus?

There are nearly 70 DTC's associated with the SRS red light. Did the dealer pull a DTC from your car before suggesting the $1,200 seat sensor replacement? If so, it's likely B1650.

Its an old thread- but Im in chicago area and oreilly has a bosch 1300 that reads codes on srs and abs. Autozone has it too, but they dont reveal it unless you push and then its in a big black box instead of the pos code reader they offer. Tell them its to read suspension and not to erase emmissions.
