I was in an accident and I replaced everything and reset the module. I cleared all the codes and when I scan it, it shows no fault. But the light is still on. I've tried disconnecting the battery for a while and checked the fuses and I don't know what else to check. What could it be?

And don't ask if I'm using a correct scanner because I am. Its a Launch x431 and I've done this many times but this is a first. Everything is replaced and good and its saying no fault codes but the light is still on. I called the dealer and they have no idea also. I think this was a problem before because the light was taped even before the accident so it might now have anything to do with the crash.

Anyone ever had this problem before? With any car? Any ideas?

Thanks
And when I say the dealer had no idea, I mean that they said it should be off because theres no codes and my scanner can do it.
 
I work at a Lexus dealer in the Chicago land area and have repaired many airbag faults. Most likely the airbag light will not go off because there is a short to ground in the airbag light circuit. Get the wiring diagram and a DMM to start your diagnosing.
