Airbag light on dash

Hi Guys...i'v got a Airbag light on the dash, that is now staying on!
This first happen about a year ago, so at first i went & bought a new (ebay) clock spring for around $99.
After installing the clock spring the airbag dash light went away for quite a few weeks/months then one day out four wheel driving it come back on again.
I have been around the car & under the seats & unplugged the connections under the seats, plugged them back in hoping it is was just a dirty connection...but made no difference
Today i went to my local wreckers & he happen to have a great condition 120 series wrecking so i pulled out the clock spring & fitted it to my prado fingers crossed!
The light is still on this time & dosent even look like going away...
Whats your thoughts guys any help would be appreciated

Have you reset the error codes on the ECU? Sometimes they need that to clear the light. Or: Likely you bought a dud clockspring from the wreck. . Have you had a code reader put on it to see what code is thrown, likely will be an open squib circuit. (Clock spring) Buy another genuine clock spring for around $100-150 thru amayama or partsouq, or an Ebay special for $30-50. Replace and should sort. Ebay specials only last about a year or two.

Hi Piggy

Same problem here.

Got the cock spring from amayama. Airbag light goes off after ignition but returns about a minute later.

How can I reset the error code?

My Prado is Feb 2004 model four speed 4lt.

Thanks
