2005 Es 330 air bags turned off dealer says to bring it in for a diagnose it will cost me $170.00 to diagnose anybody with same problem

 

I had a airbag light come on, on my 05 Es and I took it to a local independent shop to recalibrate something dealing with the airbag not sure what, but they only charged me 46 dollars because it was only about 30 mins worth of work.

 

Get a Techstream cable, its about $25.

It will allow you to read codes that a standard OBDII reader can't read. The codes should point to a failure in the SRS circuit, either an open circuit, bad sensor or airbag inflator.

Often times its the connection under the seats. It comes loose with the back and forth motion of the seat. Disconnect the battery, clean the contacts and make sure the cable is seated tightly within its connector.
