why does my Toyota Camry Eighth Generation (2018-present) airbag light stay on

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and materials.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the ignition is off.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes to discharge the airbag system.

2. Inspect and Replace Fuses

• Locate the fuse box (refer to the owner’s manual for exact location).
• Identify the airbag system fuse and remove it.
• Inspect the fuse for continuity using a multimeter; replace if blown.
• Reinstall the fuse and reconnect the battery.

3. Check and Repair Wiring and Connectors

• Visually inspect all wiring and connectors leading to the airbag system.
• If any connectors are loose, clean and securely reconnect them.
• If any wires are damaged, repair or replace as necessary using appropriate connectors.

4. Test the Airbag System

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
• Turn the ignition to the "ON" position without starting the engine and observe the airbag light.
• If the light goes off after a few seconds, the system is functioning properly.
• If the light remains on, further diagnosis may be needed with professional equipment.
