Auris airbag warning light
Summary of the thread
A 2013 Toyota Auris owner reported a persistent airbag warning light issue. After checking the fuses, which were fine, the owner suspected a defective cable or plug connection. Another individual shared a similar experience, suggesting that faulty connections, particularly under the driver's seat, could be the cause. They advised checking the crash sensor cables and plugs, as vibrations and wear can loosen connections over time. The owner later confirmed that a defective plug connection was indeed the problem, which was resolved at a workshop.

Thanks for the advice! I will check the connections under the seat. I haven't had any accidents with the car, but is it possible that the connections could become loose over time due to vibrations or something similar?

Yes, vibrations and general wear and tear can definitely cause those connections to loosen or corrode over time. Given the symptoms, it's likely a connection issue, but I would suggest a workshop visit. They will be able to pinpoint the exact location of the problem.

Thanks a lot for your help! I took it to the workshop, and it turned out to be a defective plug connection as suspected. They fixed it for 95€. The airbag light is now off. I really appreciate the advice!

I had a similar problem with my Auris. The airbag light was on, and it turned out to be a faulty connection under the driver's seat. Check the crash sensor cables and plugs; these are often the cause of SRS light issues. Has the car been in an accident?
