Thanks much. Great explanation.
It seems that this one I've tested has no faults between the conductors in the spring itself. Now to see where the problem may be. |

The other thing that some have experienced is the airbag showing continuity when stationary, but then having one of the wires open when it is rotated.

There's been a recall for this and is in the works to have the spiral cable remedied. There's approx. 131 million cars affected by this, including the Tacoma, Corolla, Matrix, Highlander, Rav4, and Yaris. Also in the faq from toyota there are reimbursement from those that have had it repaired, Reimbursement consideration instructions will be provided in the remedy owner letter. There are also two other recalls involving the yaris.

The 43 is odd as that is related to the passenger airbag on/off indicator, and is completely unrelated to the spiral cable.

airbag light update.
Scott, thanks for the jumper trick.
To my relief, my car was spitting code 51 only. I'm @ toyota right now getting a current one installed while the recall is remedied and then I'll be back for recall replacement. The service rep. Said that if the srs light is on, the whole srs system is down. So drive with that in mind for all those that are affected.

My wife's Yaris is now on its third clock spring. I can pop on a new one in about 10 minutes, but it's a serious annoyance.
The OE clock spring lasted about 85k miles. I did the jumper code technique, saw the usual error, and replaced it with a new one off eBay. That one lasted a couple of years and about 20k miles, and the airbag light came on again. No cruise control, the usual. I just threw on a new clock spring off eBay again, and the airbag light went away. I'm not impressed with the clock spring situation on these cars. |

I would guess because when the part will come in = ? My understanding, after reading posts on other similar YW threads and then asking probing questions at one of my two closest Toyota dealers, is that some areas of the United States are getting the fix/remedy faster than others...those that traditionally have inclement winter weather and a high population density (pretty much the Northeast ). My understanding is that when the proper part comes in something will trigger the word 'remedy' to appear on the screen they pull up re checking the status of this issue. A local dealer put in a different clock spring for free (not the one Toyota intends for the fix for the Yaris) to reset the light and system so 'my bags' can deploy. I was told that I'll be notified when the clock spring Toyota wants in there for 'the fix' comes in, and they will swap them for free. I have yet to receive any notification (sounded like a big question mark re time frame when they did this interim fix). The person you replied to is (like me) in a 'Gulf States Toyota (distributorship) state', so may be prey to the same 'heel dragging' re the part Toyota intends to use for a 'proper' fix.

Well, given your location, so much for my two cents . I finally got the actual/true recall notice last week for the seat tracks (IIRC), so I'll ask about the 'intended/remedy spiral cable' having come in as well when I take it in for that fix. Perhaps they just mailed me a postcard and I just haven't received it yet.

Having the airbag check light on is a real hazard, I'm really surprised Toyota hasn't sent out a remedy letter yet. I don't really feel safe while driving knowing the airbag may not deploy.

My local dealership said Toyota feels the same way, and that that is why they temporarily put in a different spiral cable in order to reset the light and allow the system to deploy.
