Air bag system trouble shooting question.
1995 all track, LE, Super Charged 165k
My air bag light has been on for 6 to 8 months. I have not been able to have the problem fixed. My usual mechanic says a code came up indicating the control module as faulty. He replaced the unit with a used one from a yard he trusts and it did not fix the problem, ( dash air bag light is still on). I cannot get the vehicle inspected with the light on or so I am told by multiple sources.
Has anyone else had issues with the Previa air bag system and know likely causes, trouble shooting procedures or fixes? What is the best way to figure out the cause of this problem?
I have considered disabling the light its self. If possible I would like to have the system working however. Also I have been told that it is not as simple as cutting a wire or pulling a fuse, that one needs to dismantle the dash and pull the bulb from the cluster. Is this true or is there a easy way to get this light to go out so I can pass inspection? I may have the time coming up to take the dash apart but do not look forward to the project ( never seem to be able to get all of that kind of stuff apart without breaking something and having it looking like bad afterwards. My mechanic is also less then thrilled by the idea of pulling it all apart.)
Thank you
