Passenger airbag recall/disable airbag?

Why does the 2007 Yaris beep for awhile and flash lights when I put something on the passenger seat?

Because the US 2nd gen (aka MK2) Yaris has a occupant classification system for the passenger seat, which actually measures the weight of the passenger at four points between the seat and seat frame and uses that data to determine if the airbag should be armed (and if the seatbelt should be buckled)

So is the passenger airbag bypass plug still available anywhere, or at least a circuit diagram? I've just joined the ranks of super-impressed Toyota customers with a possible IED dashboard, and apparently UK models don't have an off switch either.

While letters are not out yet, the replacement inflators are now in stock/arriving at Toyota dealers. Had the recall closed yesterday afternoon on my wife's 08 hatchback here in Knoxville.

Check with your local dealer; you too may be able to make this recall history.

Good to know, thanks for the update.
