There is not a relay - The seatbelt latches are direct inputs to the SRS ECU.

I can disable the chimes for either or both seatbelts via my TechStream tool, and once I get the YarGauge done, the PC interface option for it will allow people to do it themselves.

The only reason to disable it would be hauling something such as a heavy bookbag in the front seat. Other wise it's a good reminder...I wanna know how to change it to something that says "PUT YOUR SEATBELT ON PASSENGER" or something to that extent...

I do not see the need to disable the seat belt warning , but usually grab the passenger buckle from the other side and plug it into the drivers latch..presto..no sound .
Why go all to that trouble ?

I grabbed a free short seat belt extension from the dealership and use it in the passenger latch. I can't very well buckle the passenger seat belt with my dachshund riding shotgun, so I came up with that easy solution..

This seatbelt a small but useful 3 inch extension to the female receiver installed on your car/truck/van. Between model A & model B it was designed to fit 98% of the vehicles produced in the last 30 years. It is a personal seatbelt extension that simply clicks in when you are ready to GO! Take it with you between vehicles and on trips. Our seatbelt extension has been designed from the ground up to be more compact and more compatible with your vehicle. Note: Our seatbelt clip will stop your seatbelt alarm from going off

not a bad solution, but at 25 bucks a bit pricey for some...plus some may find it bulky and gaudy looking...but once again, not a bad solution...nice find...

I like it. Sort of the approach I took, except mine was free from the dealer. Since my daschund uses that seat I throw a towel on the seat and no one knows it's there, unless they need the seat, then I simply unlatch it so they can use the belt w/o the extension.

I couldn't get this to work. I tried a 2.2k, 5.6k, and 10 ohm resistor and no dice.

Anyone have any advice? The dealership refuses to disable it for me because apparently it's a federal law to have seat belt sensors now

The seatbelt latch has an active circuit, so you can't just bypass it with a resistor. Your best two options are to 1-Find someone with a TechStream tool and have them disable it for you or 2-remove the piezo chime from the cluster.

I have no advice-- but I am in the same boat. It did not work for me. All splicing in a 2.2k ohm resistor did was make the airbag light come on too. Did you figure out a solution?

ebay the toyota techstream cable and software for like 35 dollars and literally save yourself the headache, then take a minute to disable it

This.

I fished an old Lenovo Thinkpad out of an E-waste bin, tossed in a 1TB hard drive, bought a cable and downloaded a totally legal copy of Techstream. Now I can mess around with vehicle settings. Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot you can adjust with the Yaris but there are a handful of things, one being that seat belt light.
