Tundra Airbag Warning Light

Airbag warning lamp lights up in the speedometer of my 2005 Toyota Tundra with a gasoline engine, which has 147700 km on it. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone experienced this?

I had a similar issue with my Tundra. The airbag light was on constantly. Before you dive too deep, check the crash sensors and the wiring harness. I recall something about a faulty connector under the seat. Is the light always on, or does it flicker at all?

Thanks for the quick response. The airbag light is always on, it doesn't flicker at all. Which crash sensors are you referring to, and where can I locate the mentioned wiring harness?

Okay, constant light is less likely to be a loose connection, but still worth checking. The crash sensors are usually in the front near the radiator and behind the front bumper. The harness I mentioned is routed under the driver's seat. Given the constant light and your mileage, a proper diagnostic with an OBD scanner might be best before you start tearing things apart. It could be a deeper issue, and then you'll have to visit the workshop anyway.

Thank you for the advice. I took it to a mechanic, and indeed, there was a defective plug connection which caused the airbag system failure. They located the problem, fixed it, and the airbag light went out. The repair cost was 95€, much appreciated!
