Just brought my 2007 HB checked at a local dealership due to SRS light on.

They told me one of the cable broken!!! I guess possible is the one you guys mention about.

The Service Adviser told me the part DOES NOT covered under warranty EVEN THOUGH I purchased 2 YEAR extended warranty.

And they want $500 on that cable!!! End up they charged me $127CAD for diagnostic!!! Damn...

Then I told them I will file a complain to Toyota Canada for not replacing this cable while it is part of SRS system

which should be cover under extended warranty, then I took the car home without anything being fix!!!!!

If you do the DIY that I posted towards the beginning of this thread, you can find out what the error code is and from there what needs to be checked and potentially replaced.

Yea, I aware you have done a well written DIY for this issue before heading to my local dealership; however, I thought since I have already purchased extended warranty, I think should better let them fix it. Unfortunately the part itself is not under my coverage?! That's why I got charge on diagnostic; for instance if any other parts fail and cover under my warranty, I don't have to pay for diagnostic fee.

I would definitely fight for getting it to be covered under warranty, but in case they won't you can save a lot of money by verifying what's bad and replacing it yourself.

Well after a bit of research, I found this thread and thought I'd add to it rather than start a new one.

My airbag light came on Friday while driving down the highway. What I have so far is a 51 code. I looked up the service manual and got the four possible problems:

1. Instrument Panel Wire
2. Spiral Cable
3. Speed Pad (Drivers Side Squib)
4. Center Airbag Sensor Assembly

I don't know if I'm tired from work or what but right now, I don't know what to do next. The manual is not making sense. . .

51 Is an issue with the driver's side squib circuit, so basically it is something in the wiring between the SRS ECU and the airbag. The most likely culprit is the spiral cable, so I would start by testing continuity between the squib connectors (with them disconnected) and the D3 connector on the steering column.

Thanks CTScott! I was tired--I put the manual reference page into the pdf file thinking that would be the right page. Doh!


The yaris met a white tail deer about 10 months ago; and since the repair I've had no problems until this past weekend. Off to buy a multimeter . . .

I'm now having this same problem on my '08 Hatchback. I'm getting a 3251 code. Could you elaborate a little more on where the squib connectors are, how to disconnect them, and the location of the D3 connector on the steering column? Is there are wiring diagram for this connection? Thanks in advance, Tom.

To get to the squib connectors, you have to remove the airbag from the steering wheel. The D3 connector is under the lower steering column cover. The actual airbag connector is the yellow one (D18) next to D3.

The SRS section of the service manual shows how to get to both and has the wiring diagrams.

I am reviving this thread.

My parents liked the yaris so much,they bought one last year. Now they're car suddenly lit the airbag light. It too gives a 51 code.

I cannot find any information that states this is a wide spread problem. Any rumors of a recall or other free fix?

I don't believe it is a widespread issue, but anytime you have an electrical cable that constantly flexes there is the chance for premature failure.

The flashes are grouped to be two digit numbers (31, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, 32, 35, 37, 43, 45, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 73, and 74 are the possible codes you will see). The most common are 51 and 53 which indicate a problem with the primary (51) or secondary (53) driver's airbag squib wiring, which almost always turns out to be a bad spiral cable (AKA clockspring).

The list with the corresponding detection item is on page 45 of the SRS section of the service manual downloadable from here:

thanks!

Mine went out while on an off road adventure towing a jet ski along the Colorado River last season.
