Bypassing the passenger seat sensors!

[fuji]

I have read another thread that a resistor may be a way to bypass the sensors on the passenger seat.

Any ideas how to do this? More and more of us are installing aftermarket seats.

There has to be a way to keep it "ON" all the time.

I posted a response on another thread about a method that may work.

In JM350's thread he mentioned that unplugging the sensors will cause the SRS to get in a state that requires resetting by a Toyota tech. I don't think that is really true based on this quote from the SRS portion of the service manual:

"When the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected
from the battery, the memory will be cleared.
Therefore make a record of the contents stored in
each system before starting work. When the work is
finished, reset each system as it was before. Never
use a back-up power supply from outside the vehicle
to avoid erasing the memory in any system."

Thanks for the instuctional CTScott. Has anyone tried this yet???

[CTScott]

I don't think anyone has.

so basically if i want to take my seats out and put them back in, to avoid having to go to the dealer i just disconnect the battery?

...whats the catch? because that is waaaay to simple.

No catch. If you don't start the car, while the seat is out, the SRS system won't even log an error code.
