SiCaln Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I had to take off the steering wheel the other day to replace the plastic shroud on the back of it, i disconnected the battery did what i had to do reconnected all the wires, yet now when i start the car the airbag light doesnt go off. I checked the three fuses none of them have blown any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletboy Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 id take it off and check it all out again if still no luck you might need to get it looked at could just have thrown the light up because you disconnected it which is easy peasy to do!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted November 8, 2005 Author Share Posted November 8, 2005 yeah checked all that out couldnt see anything wrong may have to get it looked at Toyota or garage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletboy Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 you could try a local garage not sure if they will be able to read the codes though toyota has a computer that will plug on the car and reads all the systems on the car and tells you where the problem is but could be a bit expensive depending on what they charge if its anything like my work could be expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!

lobotomy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 How long did you have the battery terminal off for? I have this funny feeling one of my mates has had a similar problem. It's got to do with the ECU resetting or something to that effect... I'll ask the Toyota encyclopaedia when I see him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted November 9, 2005 Author Share Posted November 9, 2005 hmm must have been about 10-15 minutes, where are those terminals my man? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 In the engine bay there is a fuse/diagnostics box. Under the lid you'll see a diagram of the terminals. Bridge TE1 & E1 with an old bit of wire or paperclip or something.Then look at your dash, the engine management light should be flashing. There will be X flashes then a small pause then another Y flashes. Then a bigger pause and it should repeat (or give a dif set of flashes if there is more than 1 error)Ie.*FLASH*FLASH*FLASH*FLASH*FLASH**pause**FLASH*FLASH**pause**pause**FLASH*FLASH*FLASH*FLASH*FLASH**pause**FLASH*FLASH*And that would be your knock sensor (52) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletboy Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 aaah you got there before me thats what i was goin to say but there are different codes again for each system so it narrows it down even more to a specific point but you will also need to clear the codes in the ecu which is shorting out different terminals and that should put the light out if it was just that you disconnected the airbag! if not it will come straight back on again but it sounds like thats all but i have forgotten what terminals to short out as we always use the computer for it which is so much easier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you could take it down to toyota and get them to run a codde check on the car and clear the codes and see it will only take 5mins so maybe wouldnt cost that much!!!!!!!! how far away are you from gatwick airport because you could run it down one saturady to my work and will do it for ya????????????
