    I have a 2006 prerunner with 170,000 miles. I bought the truck new. A couple months ago I noticed the airbag light on. When I researched, I saw a recall for the spiral cable so I called the dealership and brought it in. When I picked the vehicle up the light was still on. The technician had the truck another three hours while I waited. He came back and said the light was off he fixed the problem. So sure enough I get in the truck and the light is off. Then the service writer gets in and sees my service light on. I tell him that I do all the oil changes, don't worry about it. He decides to show me how to reset the light, like I don't know and what happens the light comes back on. So he gets the technician and he takes the truck back into the shop. He brings it back in 10 minutes and tells me its the center airbag ECU and wants almost 400 bucks to fix it. I kindly tell him to fuck off and drive away. I have researched and found nothing of this center airbag ecu. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you think that maybe the SRS ECU is defective, maybe like they said.
