The passenger side air bag "off" light, warning light and main airbag light come on for no apparent reason and remain on. The vehicle had been parked and we have never had this message before. Error code B1650 and B1797. The error can not be cleared. The "fix" is to replace the floor harness then the central air bag ECU and then the seat assembly until it is fixed. Aprx $5000. 2 Toyota mechanics gave us different diagnostic, one telling us there was corrosion and the other saying there was a broken wire. Independent checking of the harness showed neither. I am from Canada but thought I should submit this here also since I see complaints for this issue in the U.S,

The dealer always claims they don't have the replacement parts and won't have the parts for a long time. How can I get the air bag replaced?
