2007 Lexus GS front Seats airbag light on.

[Alxsei]

Hallo guys, recently I changed my front seats because they were too damaged from time and i put second hand ones but the new seats are from a UK GS Version. The seats functions work perfectly but i have a little problem. After changing the seats the airbag light remained on.

Do you have any ideea how can I solve this? I saw online that there is a way to trick the airbag light with some resistors. Did anyone did that?

Thank you.

Hi Emilian and welcome to the LOC.

You mention the replacement seats are from a UK spec car and your profile says Kerry which I assume is ROI?
Were the replacement seats “ plug and play” I.e. same sockets as the old ones?
Airbag looms and connectors are always yellow for easy identification and warning.

You really need a code reader to confirm it is the seat airbags that have triggered the warning light and you can also reset the system with this.

Switching the ignition on with disconnected airbags can flag a code also.

Given the SRS is a safety feature I would not recommend attempting to bypass any part of it with “resistors”

A word of warning ….don’t start disconnecting or reconnecting any airbag connectors unless you have disconnected the car Battery and then waited at least 15 minutes. They have a back up system and the last thing you want is an unexpected deployment of an airbag in your face!
