Missing SRS Air Bag indicator light

Hi all,
I just noticed that I never see/saw Air Bag light on my panel upon start up. That one one Red on the bottom row like on the stock photo below.(this is not mine car).
brr...am I missing my air bag at all?
I just did my maintenance and main battery replace (with aftermarket modules), guy didn't tell me that it's missing, but found another air bag code
B1801 - Open in D Squib Circuit
, which he said related to that spiral spring cable connector. Didn't tell me anything about missing light. Maybe I should reset it ??

Also: while doing my missing dashboard lights/capacitor replacement I noticed that air bag was replaced on passenger side and surely I have salvaged title.
Do you think my AirBug is OK and ready to deploy if needed or I might missing something. I heard something that some bad guys in South can shorted/kill that light. on a passenger side I always have <AirBag> yellow if no passenger, I learned that it's OK>

Why I didn't check it 6 years ago ???-)

 

Thanks all, I will follow up

For Prius 2, is there any free download ? so far i see only paper books for DM manuals.

So many factors... Look like the only reliable test is <small tree test> like happened with amscuibay.

 

Thanks All, sorry about small tree and your bag not exploding, with bar ruined it definitely should go off, right?
I had a chance to examine cluster for any light tempering, alas didn't notice that missing light then.
Did you hear how bad guys doing that, what place to check ?

I think on start all lights should go up for control check, not matter what codes you have. I will follow up when I will replace spiral cable.

Thanks all

I just had pro run all code and light diagnostics without opening anything and based on the fact that I still have Passenger Air bug light:
The only thing he said could go wrong is some guys pull out bulb from cluster, they know how to do this and even cheat codes. I forgot to check it when I was fixing that dash black out problem with capacitor. This bulb should be super reliable.

I even could not find any bulb or led for sale for this case, anybody dealt with this replace ? Appreciate any info.

I might check it out ,need to examine cluster. but first I will try to replace Spiral Cable and clear all codes.


Best

Thanks ChapmanF, I'm going now thru your link . Thanks again.

 

Hi ChapmanF, so far I see that Repair Manual available only in the printed form, is this correct ?

Si, I'm studying this page, it's really extensive. I dismissed all $ options so far and looks like most of materials are for fee, which makes perfect sense. Tx
