Airbag light won't turn off - Toyota Yaris Forums

Scott, appreciate the quick response. I do not understand what squib means. When I took the airbag out, I removed two connectors from it. There was an Orange connector and a black connector. What was interesting to me was that each connector had two pins, these stupid pins were shorted together. What was more interesting was that each pin had different color wires associated with it. Since both the Black connector and Orange connector's had their pins shorted, I thought I must be by design. But it didnt make sense as to why would Toyota use different wire but short them. Are these connectors should NOT have their pins shorted? Should I investigate and remedy the short within these connectors?
