Quick question about air bag/abs light - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

So I was wondering if there is any way to reset either the ABS light or the AIR BAG light without taking it to a dealer? Also, how does everyone deal with the taillight failure light, is there something that needs to be replaced in order for that to stop malfunctioning, or just remove the light.....LOL

not sure how to resent them but you can try to disconnect your negative side on the battery for about 15 min and see if the works.

the taillight failure lights means you have a tail light bulb out.

I dont have a taillight out...but I did read recently that the taillight failure sensor is questionable on the 92-93 camry as far as failure of the light moreso than the failure of the actual taillight....so I will try the disconnect and see if that resets it...

from my experience, ABS light can be resetted using the diagnostic box in engine bay, but everytime you turn the key to on, the ABS system will do a self check/test and the ABS light will turn back on immediately as soon as it detects an abnormal in system such as abs speed sensor failure.
airbag light is also a specialty at dealer.

disconnect battery probably won't reset both lights.

I have the same question.

My car's battery died a little while ago, and I needed a boost (left my headlights on)

and after the Auto club guy came and boosted it with a battery, the Air Bag light is always lit.

Any thoughts?

my situation is somewhat similar to yours, except it was a battery change and the guy from autozone didnt know how to install a battery correctly and put the terminals on backwards and blew out a whole bunch of stuff including turning on my airbag sensor.
