Permanently remove passenger seat? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Found the link to your bypass module. Tnx. Looks good, but site says they're out of stock and backordered. Did more research on this site and didn't realize that passenger blk box was on the bus. With a uprocesser, I should have known.

Took another look at my seats. The seat belt latch switch is just 2 wire so it should go on the Camry seat easily. The center bolts are even the same size. Do you know offhand if the latch switch is magnetic or contact? Just curious.

On the other hand, there looks like four load cells, one in each corner of the seat frame with a 3 wire connector on each going to the blk box on the passenger seat. This seems like major overkill. Keeping Japanese electrical engineers employed. Thought maybe it was to modulate the intensity of the airbag pop, but without one on the driver side, this doesn't make sense. It would be better to modulate this based on the g forces of the crash anyway which is a different sensor. Any thoughts on the rationale behind this very complex weight sensor??

Anyway, the four sensors look like a major PITA to remove. I just want to fool the system into thinking the seat is always loaded, so the airbag is enabled whenever the seat belt is latched (like the driver side). On the chance that these three wire sensors are analog, is there a way to jump or shunt them at the harness plug to "keep the SRS happy"??
That way I could just leave the blk box and four "rigged" plugs under the new seat.

Trying to find wiring diagram for the seat, specifically the blk box, but no luck.
