Since the dealership is absolutly no help so here i am lol. My mecanic plugged a dianogstic computer into my car, bc I wanted 2 know why my airbag lights is on. So getting to piont i geuss here's the codes he pulled:

V1801
V1811

what do they mean? how are can they be reset? Also came up something called a "squib circut" what's that?

Make: Toyota
Code: B1811
Definition: Open in D squib (Dual stage - 2nd step) circuit

Make: Toyota
Code: B1801
Definition: Open in D squib circuit

A squib is the actual part that explodes to inflate the airbags. There are also squibs that lock up the seat belts. the definition makes me think that there is a wire open in the ignite circuit. I don't know which squib would be "D".. You will not be able to clear the code until the problem causing the code has been repaired.

ok how do i do that? i tend to think D would start for driver but idk

The 1801 and 1811 DTCs point to the spiral cable (AKA clockspring) having a snapped wire within it. You can pull the airbag and check continuity between the two pins of the black airbag connector and pins 7 and 8 (yellow with green and yellow with red wires) of the spiral cable connector at the bottom of the steering column.

The horn not working may be another symptom of a bad spiral cable.
