You can't disable it without a scan tool. I had mine disabled for free.

overboost · 09-19-2006, 10:37 PM

so just go to the dealership and ask them to do it?

Our dealer in Tysons Corner, Va. said no. :(

"They weren't allowed" no reason given, I felt like I was 5.

the chime makes sure that you buckle up, so when, if, a bigger vehicle, basically every other vehicle, hits you, or you hit another vehicle, you stay in your seat. if you dont like your seat belt for dumb reasons what-so-ever you could always get a motorcycle and kill yourself on that just as easy.

Ιf you can stand the noise for 2 minutes, it then goes off.

Yup I agree with Katana, I have the same prob with gym bag/backpack setting it off. Though annoying it stops by the time I leave my street.

Not to beat a dead horse but, if the weight shifts it reactivates it. I have had it go off 4 times in a 1 hour commute.

Sounds like you should kill that annoyance then!

will stop at RS on my way home tonight to pick some up...

when I started to do this I bought a pull switch so I can enable and disable the seatbelt sensor. Once i get it all figured out I will DIY for you all.

why not just keep the belt buckled on the empty seat?

First of all, I haven't looked at my Yaris yet ... but for what
I've seen ... most seatbelt sign could easily turn off by unplugged
the wire under the seat. Have u guys try this?

Most cars in Thailand have one for driver seat .. I am not sure if
your cars do the same

DonnyRebel · 09-21-2006, 12:25 AM

but when I threatened to get the owner of the dealership involved, he called Toyota HQ in CA and verified that the chime could be eliminated (and how to do it). It took the tech about 5 minutes with the a normal scroll type scan tool to turn it off. I'll give you a hint......have your owner's manual handy when you ask. It states very clearly if you don't want the chime......
