Air Bag Light On problems of the 2006 Lexus IS

Airbag light indicator Is on and Lexus insisted they replace the entire wiring harness for over 2k due to safety Issues. The price of this repair for an electrical fault Is obscene and Is a common Issue with this model of Lexus according to owner forums.

The srs airbag light randomly comes on at variable times. After running the analysis with a bosch obd1200, it appears that the drivers side knee squib circuit Is showing an open fault. When the seat Is moved back, the wiring harness fails. Its believed that the factory installation of the wiring harness Is too short, causing strain on the harness connector. This causes a fault on the airbag module and renders the drivers side knee airbag inoperable. This should be considered a safety concern and a recall should fix this Issue.

My Lexus Is 250 air bag light came on. I took it in for service and Lexus of las vegas and they informed me that the wiring harness needs to be replaced because Lexus designed the part wrong. I learned that if I'm in an accident that my safety system will not work. Lexus needs to replace my death trap now. Fix the wiring harness. . . . Dulce ward.

The airbag light Is now constantly displaying red on my dashboard. Nalley Lexus of smyrna GA stated that there Is a short in the wire harness and it needs to be repaired at a cost of $3300 or the airbags will not work in the event of a crash. From reading online in the Lexus owners blogs, this Is very common and I have read in the forums that Lexus, in 2006, 2007, installed a wiring harness that was too short. The harness plugs become loose and in some cases the wire insulation becomes chafed and shorts out the airbag system. I am not aware where the poster got their information but I, along with others think this Is should be a saftey recall.
