It's a two pin yellow connector (under the seat) for the side airbag squib. The 3 ohm resistor trick is the same thing that is done to eliminate the steering wheel airbag, when swapping steering wheels. It fools the SRS into thinking that the airbag is still present.

I am sure there will be a few surprises, but I don't think that you'll run into anything insurmountable.

So it's as straight-forward as it sounds? Just plug the resistor into the two pins in the connector and voila?

Yes - Plug it in, and tape or heat shrink it.

i have a set of weapon R seat brackets that i didnt end up using... I will sell them cheap.

maybe that will help the OP? :dunno:

Thanks, but I found seats and Wedge brackets from Garm already

I looked through my stash of resistors and found a bag of a couple hundred 2.5 ohm resistors. These would be fine, as anything in the range from about 2 ohms to 4 ohms will work.

Send me a PM with your mailing address and I'll put a bunch in an envelope and drop them in the mail...

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm set. I found a local mom & pop-type electronics store that had 3.3 ohm 1/2 watt resistors, so I should be good for now. Thanks again!

Excellent! That's a good find. Radio Shack is becoming more and more of a cell phone hut and less and less of an electronics place.

I try to avoid that place at all costs. They never have what I'm looking for and their 'help' is the least knowledgeable I've seen. They sounded like they'd never heard the word 'resistor' when I called asking for one.

^ They probably thought it was a political thing.

^Haha!!

CTScott · 08-06-2009, 12:33 AM

First off, pick up the resistors. 470 ohm and 10 K ohm (four of each). They don't need t be 1/2 Watt, so you can go with 1/4 or 1/8 Watt (whatever you can find in stock).

Picked up the resistors today, 1/4 watt. I'll let you know when I get the seats and I guess we can proceed to the next step

sorry for the thread hijack ...

but I found no yellow connector under my passanger seat.... there's 3 connector underneath the seat ... 2 are connected side by side and the other single one is wrapped with a plastic cable shielding ....

so which one to plug the resistor at ?

thank you ...and sorry again for the thread hijack ...

Does your car have the side airbags (and the SRS tag hanging off of the side of the seat)? If not, then you won't find the yellow connector under the seat for the airbag. Under the center of the passenger seat is the Occupant Classification ECU. It has two 12 pin connectors attached (one gray and one black). If you have the side airbag, then the yellow connector for it, is right next to the OC ECU.

vten · 08-06-2009, 10:58 PM

no side airbags....

so is the resistor method works on the non side airbags yaris ? and how ?

thank you

CTScott · 08-06-2009, 11:42 PM

There are two different purposes to the resistors:

The 3 ohm ones are used to fool the Center Airbag Sensor Assembly into thinking that the side airbags are still present.

The 10K and 470 ohm resistors are to fool the Occupant Classification ECU into thinking that the four passenger seat Occupant Classification Sensors are present and are indicating that the seat is empty or has an adult sitting there.

This thread shows the idea behind the OCS bypass:
