Default Air bag warning light ??

Quick Q to the RX300 owners out there

Does your airbag warning light go off immediately after you start the car or does it take 6 seconds before going off? My RX330 goes off immediately

Worrying too much.

The self test during initial start procedure is to verify the "idiot lights" are not blown. In case of a problem they have a chance of lighting up. Now if some one has jury-rigged the wiring then we have another issue.

I do not recommend it, but if any sensor is disconnected and the vehicle is turned on, the ECU will get in stuck-on fail mode. Reason I don't recommend it is that to reset the light, you will most likely need to go to the dealer.

Just leave it alone ... At most connect to a smart (advanced) OBDII reader and look for Bxxxx codes.
