Looking at seats... - Toyota Yaris Forums

OK. Now that the SRS is happy, I just did some experimentation with the OCS. The resistors will definitely not work, as there is a signal component as well from the sensor. There is a DC voltage, which is proportional to the weight applied to the sensor, but there is also an analog waveform on the signal pin. When I connected the resistors and power on the ignition, I would see the correct voltage on the signal pin for a couple of seconds, then the voltage would drop to zero and the passenger seat belt light would flash rapidly. Checking the DTC showed a 32. After disconnecting the battery and reconnecting the sensor, the DTC would go away and the OCS would operate normally. Tonight I am going to pull the sensors off of the seat, so I can experiment with one.
