Hi folks,
My 97 LX450 has a flashing airbag light on the dash. I realize this subject is covered ad nauseam here, I did search and followed instructions in the FSM, to no avail. The things that worked for others didn't work for me and I'm getting no response from the system.
I have tried to clear the code following instructions in the FSM, with no luck. I cleaned the contacts and verified voltage from both pins to ground, probably tried 40+ times with different wires to get it to work, nothing changes. No faster flashing light, no clearance, no ABS light, it's as if nothing was different. I also tried to read the code by jumping the two pins specified in the FSM, a bunch of other lights on the dash flash (cruise, CEL, abs, etc), but the SRS light just flashes continually ~2 times/sec with no change.
The light is blinking 2 times a second, which the FSM calls a "normal code". At no point can I get the light to flash with variation indicating there is a code or clear it, even for a second. Nothing changes and I've tried timing it many ways and using different wires, even a multimeter to confirm voltage between the pins and ground.
The battery voltage seems fine, but I will try another tomorrow to be certain. The only other culprit per FSM is the airbag module itself, but before I risk messing with that, is there anything else I should try? Would a bad SRS module not respond to either of the above diagnosis methods like this (others seem to report some response, at least)?
Thanks
