The philip's head screw all the way at the top left of the pic? Or the rivet next to GND?

The screw in the top left. If you look at the PCB a trace connects it to ground. When working with two probes I like to have one one something that it won't easily slip off of, like a screw head.

Beautiful. I'll give this a try and report back.

No dice... still no voltage

I guess I'll have to wait for those 3 ohm resistors

Those points are where the connector is soldered to the PCB, so you shouldn't have seen anything different than we were seeing the other day. I thought you were asking because Santa came early.

Unfortunately not...Santa's gotta come all the way from WI to NJ. Shouldn't be any later than Friday.

did you get the resistor yet? any update?

I'm really disappointed in the place I ordered them from. Their website shows the resistors as 'shipped' on Monday but I still haven't received them as of today (Saturday) so I hope to have them Monday.

Which place did you order them from?

VetcoElectronics.com. And I paid out the a$$ since it was such a small order... $16.82 for 4 resistors

CTScott · 08-16-2009, 01:56 PM

Dang! I should have just dropped some of the ones I have laying around in an envelope and dropped them in the mail. You would have had them in a day or two for the cost of a stamp.

Yeah.. big mistake on my part. I know better now!

MGargano · 08-17-2009, 05:10 PM

Resistors are finally here! This project is officially back on track!

AdeJong 03 · 08-17-2009, 05:24 PM

nice man! keep us updated

MGargano · 08-17-2009, 05:52 PM

This is a 3 ohm, 1/2 watt resistor, right?

MGargano · 08-17-2009, 06:03 PM

Nothing so far. I plugged the 3 ohm (presumably) resistors into the airbag sensors, turned the key, and all lights are still lit. Also, still no voltage to the weight sensors. I disconnected the battery and will try again in a few minutes, but I'm thinking maybe the SRS system needs to be reset/cleared.

cali yaris · 08-17-2009, 06:36 PM

more than a few -- I've heard Toyota techs wait 20 to make sure the SRS system resets (it has it's own battery, btw)

CTScott · 08-17-2009, 06:39 PM

Correct on the resistors. Garm is correct on the reserve power for the SRS ECU.

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under micro*image seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
