Toyota Vios 2006 1.5G - Airbag Indicator Reset

[Dusty]

Problem: Airbag Indicator Light won't turn off
Background: Power Steering Thread or Ribbon (?) was cut off.
Actions made: Thread was repaired and installed. Horn/Busina is now functional. However, Airbag Indicator Light won't turn off even after several resets were made.

Good evening mga bros, yung mechanic/electrician told me na pumunta na sa Toyota para sa reset dahil ayaw mareset sa gamit nyang aparato yung Airbag Indicator, ginawa din nya na galawin yung pangreset below sa steering wheel (may mga wires and connections dun).. Nareset naman, kaso after a few seconds, bumabalik din yung ilaw ng Airbag indicator.. Ilang ulit nyang ginawa ito, kaso ayaw talaga bumalik sa normal.. Just would like to ask kung toyota na lang ba talaga ang chance ko para mareset yung sa Airbag Indicator Light since sila lang yung may aparato na pang reset or do I have any other options? Sorry for the disturbance.. TIA..

kapag may problema pa (dtc) ang airbag ay lalabas pa uli ang ilaw kahit I-reset. pa scan muna

how was the power steering/ribbon as cut-off?
anung repair sir ang ginawa?

if meh gamit yung mechanic(aparato) that did the repair, what was the DTC code being shown?
it would be wise sir to have it checked using OBD,, makikita doon kung anung error code at anu ang possible source ng problem sa airbag.

usually any related problems with regards sa SRS( supplemental restraint system) kasama dito ang airbag, fault code and warning will be constantly indicated sa dashboard or sa memory ng ecu ng airbag module...

if signal is cut/interrupted/shorted the airbag module might report this, sensitive ang airbag module sa overvoltage/over current usually kasi hindi 12volts at iba ang ameprage ng wires ng airbag system.... so kung meh nangyari sa wire feed o supply ng airbag module or harness, it could send error (DTC code)....

Mga sirs.. Thanks so much sa reply.. Will do.. Btw sir.. CASA lang ba ang capable na gawin yun? May mga shops po ba na marerecommend dito sa qc? Yung ribbon na cut-off nung inayos yung power steering..

[miko101130]

yung mga high end shops meron din sila pang scan at reset...

pero siyempre model specific yung sa casa... pang unit mo talaga yun.

its possible na cause is the cutting of the wire.... i don't know exactly the wiring method for the vios but it might be that when the wire was cut the signal was interrupted from the airbag ecu to the airbag module thus leading to a stored error code.

Double check the spiral cable(clock spring cable) if it was repaired correctly. Usually airbag has separate connector. Best if you could just replace the whole spiral cable assembly. Or you may try the simpliest reset method which is..

Remove negative cable of battery.
Press on the brakes or put the key to ignition for several seconds.
Re-connect the battery.

If airbag light re-appears, pull the codes at the nearest shop.

Safety reminder: Never work with airbags when the battery is connected and system capacitor not discharged. Never test using ohmeter because it sends voltage to the airbag module that may deploy it. Always remove the airbag module if you will be working with clockspring cable or anything in the steering wheel.

Iba ang ECU ng sasakyan sa airbag module, parang instrument panel rin lang yan, iba ang mga yan.

Ang airbag may sarili rin na board yan, ang ginagawa dyan, nirereprogram yung eeprom/mcu, same rin sa pagreprogram kapag nag-aadjust ng mileage.

Ang procedure nyan ay ganito, either tatangalin yung eeprom/mcu or mag piggyback para madownload yung dump (andyan yung crash data), then iload yan sa crash data cleaner na software, or kung may dump database naman yung programmer, i-rereprogram lang ang eeprom nyan or ang mcu.

Yung mechanic na pinuntahan mo, wala sya masyado background about sa ganyan, more on lang sa pag gamit ng obd scanner nya at paghanap ng errors.

Ang gagawin dyan sayo ng casa papalitan yung buong airbag module at sigurado mahal ang presyo.

Kung dadalhin mo yan sa mga gumagawa ng reset ng odometer, wala pa 2.5k ang singil nyan siguro.

Yung DTC error nyan sa dash, indicator lang yan na hindi pa naclear yung crash dump sa airbag module not dahil hindi pa narepair yung ribbon wire mo kung naayos na nga.

hindi naman yata nabangga ang sasakyan, naputol lang malamang ang clockspring (yung sinasabi nyang ribbon).

kahit hindi mabanga sasakyan, kapag lumabas ang error ng airbag, reprogramming na yan ng module.
