- Owner wants to take care of a pesky Airbag warning light on the dash before selling his Lexus.
The diagnosis is pretty straight forward, but unfortunately some parts are required to fix this issue.

I love that you did everything possible to fix it as a “no parts required”, first! You always go those extra steps for your customers. Great job, sir.
THIS is the difference between an independent and a stealership!
A tip : watch series at Flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
@Kobe Asher definitely, been using flixzone} for since december myself =)
Prudent use of parts cannon minimizing collateral damage. 👍🏼
Great stuff Ivan. For fixing bent connector pins, I've found it best to use a small bore metal tube - like a propelling pencil (without the lead).
I've used circuit board post winding tools...
You are one brave soul, poking around and back probing an air bag module! Great job though, and glad nothing went kaboom....
Bent pins always scare me; never know if they're going to break. No telling what kind of damage had been done to that module from water intrusion. Great job as always, Ivan!
Nice fix. When I saw the description and it said parts required with the frown face. I immediately thought of Paul and thought you might have had a mishap. Glad you didn’t deploy any and got launched out of the car.
The Car Whisperer LOl good job Ivan !!
Thanks for the video Ivan. Outstanding as usual!
and the chances the new owner is alerted this car has water damage = zero LOL. so when they get an odd issue the dealership will just randomly replace things $800 a pop. loving it. this roof drains cause so much damage you would think they would make an effort to have rubber deflectors or something so the water doesnt get to the connectors in the first place....
I can almost guarantee you this is an auction-bought flood car that the current owner is flipping lol
Oh hell, that module needed a wet suit or a submarine :-D
I'm supprised it didn't cause other problems.
Hey Ivan I just finished watching Paul Danners air bag video on his premium channel as I was watching you I was waiting for the explosion. The video is cool to watch luckily nobody was hurt. Those yellow connectors are intimidating. Did you have any concerns disconnecting that connector with power on? Just wondering. Ivan thanks for sharing you and wife stay safe and well Artie 😊
That's great attention to detail, Ivan!
At least the module didn't require programming. Nice job.
Yup plug and play!
Great vid ivan. Quick and to the point of testing not guessing.
Quick and dirty to diagnose! But hey, some parts can't be fixed, replacing it is best option. Nice video!! You did your best to fix that module. Can't be helped
Excellent job Ivan.
Not sure if you want to answer but did that car have a salvaged title?
Nice catch on those bent pins Ivan . I wonder if that’s what caused the whole problem with the module
Do you like the thinktool more than the launch???
It's basically a Launch in a really nice rugged package. Great scanner!
Did you have to programed the module?
Well done Ivan. Maybe you can teach Scanner Danner how not to blow up the airbags when messing with modules....hahahahha.....I kid, just jokin’......Down here in Houston we saw a massive amount of water intrusion issues after Hurricane Harvey flooded the city.....many issues like you found.
What do you think about that new scan tool you're using? I see that guy from advanced level also using it.
Reminds me of the lexus cuba just looked at.
Nice fix 👍
Do these failed modules get sent back to retrieve some sort of "core deposit" ?
Or are they just worthless and junked on site ?
could the bent pin have shorted against something when the plug pushed down on it? (dodgy module with the moisture/corrosion anyway)
Off topic---any PPG action in the future?
Does that car have push button start?
If you have this B1660 code and no other codes or lights, will the airbags still deploy? Is this just an LED error?
My question is, what's the point of these airbag on-off lights? It's not like there of any value to the typical user, it's not like when we see the light we go "Oh I gotta do this thing instead!" or some junk along those lines. Seems like useless information for the typical driver
Great Video
I have an 08 Lexus ES350 with 305,000 miles and a few issues (minor coolant leak, vibration on acceleration, and a bad o2 sensor).. I know you have made trips and videos in MI.. I'm located in lower MI.. Possible video content? I don't trust any local mechanics 😭
oh nooooo parts required!!...wink. was good to see what inside of the airbag box.
rusting in the dash, corrosion on the pins and oxidization. looks like the cars been in a flood
Was a previous owner of this car a U-boat commander like in RISKY BUSINESSES?
Cast iron nerves Ivan! Even with the knowledge and understanding of the circuits, airbags still make me super nervous. Look at Paul Danner's airbag blunder. (Caleb is having too much fun with it)
Good job, easy one for you!!!
Great job
Same module, 10 yr's old, about to do the same. Frack they haven't changed the system, was approved use it. Can not imagine what it take or cost to get a new design approved. 04tundra
ya ya, hastily written language/spelling just pissed chasing a ghost
Funny customer drove it with air bag light on all this time but now wants to fix it when selling!
How do you like the scan tool I see a few RUclips's have them now
I love it! It's fast, has awesome coverage, bright big screen, and so far no holes or glitches 😁
I think I would’ve just took those bulbs out if possible or drilled them out from the back if necessary and lived with it but I guess since he’s selling that would’ve been a tad shady? 😂
Easier to fix it right than messing with the cluster leds lol
Hey Ivan,how about your new Thinktool.Impressions?Similar to Launch or better?
Same software but better hardware 🙂
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics thanks bud,keep rockin 💪
Sometimes, no matter what you do, you have to fire the parts cannon.
Can't fix them all with N P R .. ...GOOD JOB !
there is a factory TSB for HS for this issue, Lexus will fix this for free; no time limit as this is an airbag safety issue
PHAD success!
Flood car?
"Some water intrusion" sounds like Craigslist speak for FLOODED....
Please don't set PCB on carpets!
👍👍👍👍
Ebay worked for once
i think ebay rocks for the most part. they have always made good on any problems for me. some chinese stuff u learn to stay away from. carbs for small engines is a good ex. still got my $ back. seller paid for shipping
spend money to sell car ?? That's unheard of here in the ghetto lol . Someone would put electrical tape over the light before spending money to fix it lol
Lol different standards in different areas 😅
Selling a hybrid = smart move.
👍
WATER INTRUSION......FLOOD CAR?
The moral of the fix is, dont try submersible with your roadster, use a submarine instead !!
I don't ever want to work on airbags. I will always pay to have someone else to work on them for me.
Haha I should charge double for airbag problems 😅
Some poor bastard is going to buy this car and have many problems in the future. Sounds like a salvaged water damaged car.
Looks like someone bought themselves a flood car.
Wouldn't be surprised lol
Hey it's just a little water.
The white crusties!
Water destroys as much as fire
Brother your facebook?
eBay ftw
Toyota,...RUN!
A Nissan lover.... RUN! lol
@@artemovsk1 I am guilty! I own 4 of them!
@@metoon3092 LOL!
I drove Saab 96's and 97's for decades. I also developed automotive electronics for decades. If you had a clue, you wouldn't drive a vehicle cluttered with that garbage...!
Can't really find a modern vehicle without that garbage, That's why I drive old reliable junkers haha! My scanner costs more than my 4 cars combined xD
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I worked in a research activity developing advanced automotive controls in the early 80's. Every team member drove pre-computer era vehicles. I created some of the prototypes of the crap you deal with. I did a lot of safety mitigating. I have constant nightmares. NDA's. My daily drive is a very old rig. No computers. My newest rig was born in 2005. I don't trust it.
In the 80's, I had to resolve a problem that never existed. I worked several months on a problem that never existed. I solved the problem. I wrote a proper report. My engineering notes were confiscated. I had to rewrite, sanitize, my report. All for a problem that existed never existed.
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I enjoy the Corrs: ruclips.net/video/0fMUYU8DC1U/видео.html NDA, can't say more...
Flood car stayaway
you should not have touched the air bag there class action lawsuit and other suits for those takta air bags. there still under warranty by toyota and other vendors.
I disagree,he is not touching the air bag portion as such .HIS worked involved the connection,which in this case ,the video shows that the last person BEFORE HIM made an ERROR and therefore they were responsible for THE "systems failure to operate AS DESIGNED.If anything he helped TOYOTA COMPANY,by being an detail oriented mechanic and CORRECTLY RESOLVED the issue at hand,thereby improving a passengers chances of surviving an accident with ONLY THE INJURY'S PROVIDED BY THE AIRBAG ITSELF>. So IVAN if you need a lawyer look me up.haha just kidding,good job.
First of all, this particular year/make/model is NOT affected by the Takata airbag recall.
Second of all, even if it was, the recall is for the airbag itself. Replacing the computer module has no effect whatsoever on the recall. If you have a vehicle that has a recalled airbag, the manufacturer will replace it with the revised airbag for free. That's the ONLY thing the recall does. If you have any other problem with the airbag system, you pay for the repair out of pocket. It's no different than fixing the airbag system on a car that wasn't recalled (and, like I said, this car IS a car that wasn't recalled).
Ivan did what I would attempt to do if presented with this problem. HE FIXED THE CAR. We work near air bags on about 20 % of our jobs. Heater cores, evaps, blend doors etc. CAUTION, NOT FEAR should be the norm. We seldom get to pick our jobs Just fix what comes in the door.
