| Description of the problem | 1998 toyota corolla le, air bag light comes on and starts blinking as soon as i start the vehicle. This is the second time the air bag light has come on. First time, there were air bag light and seat belt light on in aug 2005. I took the car to toyota dealer. He replaced the seat belt(cost was $350). That fixed the air bag light and seat belt light on problem. Today(sept 30, 2005), the air bag light has again come on and keep blinking while the engine is on. I believe it's a manufacturing defect with the 1998 toyota corolla. Please investigate the matter. *jb |
