97 corrolla airbag light.

jjf1974

My 1997 corrolla failed the N.C.T. because the airbag light did not come on. I never remember seeing any airbag light ever in this car. This car has passed several Nct's in the 13 years i have owned it.I dismantled the dash today but could not find an airbag light. Was there ever an airbag light in this model?

What model corolla is it? And does it have an airbag?

jjf1974

corrolla 1.3 xli 94-97 model (E101). It does have steering wheel airbag.

Thats a 1.3 xli. I had one.

Never seen an airbag light come on and it passed its last NCT fine.

I dont think there is one tbh.

oh and mine just had the one airbag in the steering wheel as well.

if they are anything like the same era starlet, it's a mechanical airbag and the light doesn't illuminate on start-up, only when there is a fault.

I could not find any light with an airbag symbol or srs on it. I don't know if it is a mechanical airbag or not. i looked under the seat and there is no wires there that would indicate a sensor in the seat.
I rang the N.C.T. call center but all they could tell was to bring it back to the test center.

I went back this morning to the test center.I explained about the light to a different tester that was there today.He said there was no light in that model corrolla and he gave me my new cert.
