I wonder if anyone can help with this one....I have error codes 32, 35, 37 and 51. It sounds like all the wiring and a buckle sensor are gone. Any ideas?

Was your car in an accident?

32, 35 and 37 are all issues with the occupant classification system (which is the system that weighs the contents of the passenger seat and determines if the airbag should be armed). Code 51 is for the spiral cable (AKA clockspring, which is the device that allows the wires for the driver's airbag to stay connected as the steering wheel is rotated).

Did you try clearing the codes after reading them?

I do not know if the car was in an accident as it is new to me. I am not sure how to clear the codes. Is that when you take of the black cable from the battery for 15 minutes?

No unplugging the battery won't clear SRS DTC's. You clear them similarly to how you read them with the procedure in post #2 of this thread.

Also, I should have mentioned. It does not appear the car was in an accident as I checked it over. But, There is maybe the regulator in the alternator problem as well, the battery seems fine 13.6 car not started and like 15.5 or so when started. The alternator is a bit low pushing 13.6 instead of 14V which gives a trouble light every once in a while. The passenger side airbag indicator comes on when someone sits in the car etc.
Thanks for the reply - you seem like the sites godsend when it comes to trouble shooting..Thanks again.

That is how I read the codes. After I turned the car off. Waited 10minutes and then went for a drive and the light came back on. Should I read the codes again?

Ah, that link in post #2 wasn't the complete one. Below is the complete one with the second portion explaining how to clear the codes. The potential alternator issue would not cause these codes to be set.

I have to try this later as family duty prevails. I have to go to a dance recital for the young one. I will get back after this evening. Thanks for all so far.

I tried the reset this morning and after I thought it was reset I still had the error code of 51, but when I turned of and went back in it was reading all the same codes. But, my battery died which leads to my three problems. I think the regulator on the alternator or alternator are bad or my battery is dieing. It's on the trickle charger now. I will get the battery checked over hopefully today to see how much life is left in it. I checked the connectors to the battery all looks good there. The battery light was flicking. But I was told by a mechanic the alterator was putting out low at about 13.6V. Problems problems.

Battery was dead 310CCA. New one in and drove around the block. Still got the alternator and airbag problem - try to get an alternator (even though it might just be the regulator corroded up) tommorrow..Then back to the airbag light.

what is a jumper? a paperclip?

I've had this srs light staying on for a few months now and can't figure it out on how to read it or clear it. The car was in an accident years ago and never any problem until the last few months, so i can't imagine that it was the cause of it being so long ago.

A paperclip would be fine. Basically, you just need something to make contact between those two pins.

51 is the spiral cable (AKA clockspring). You can try resetting it, but chances are that you have a broken connection within it.

im trying to reset it but how do you do it? i'm having a really difficult time trying to do it

And if I don't fix it, what will happen? None of the airbags will deploy if I'm nailed?

Getting the timing right with the reset procedure takes a bit of practice.

If you don't fix it, I believe that the airbags will not deploy, and the steering wheel one definitely will not.

It seems that this code 51 is a common problem. Shouldn't something like this be covered by toyota no matter if you have a warranty or not? This is airbag/safety related and should be covered by them 100% no matter what.

It's not like someone neglected to change their brake pads or bad tires. These are airbag systems, it's not like it's a "wear n' tear" item.
