Airbag light won't turn off

[mnbvczxc]

I had been driving around wityh this problem for about a year now and decided to fix it with the help of your handy forum here. So I have a 2007 Yaris but could not find the service manual or even where to short the pins for a code read but the problem sounded just like the typical spiral cable thing. Here are some pictures to go along with the fix.



As you can see the Airbag light is on as well as the engine light, which I had just acquired in the last few days, probably gas cap or something?



actually I was hoping somebody could tell me where to look in this picture for the 2 points for reading the codes...


The culprit is the white ribbon cable seen here, as expected.



A closer look at the ribbon cable (spiral cable) reveals a worn strand in the cable which has created an open circuit.



I figured that I had nothing to lose to just solder it up along with a strand of thin copper wire embeded in the solder job. The remaining wire was cut away after the pic was taken.



So the car went back together a lot easier than it came apart. Lights out!
