Passenger Airbag Question

[misolith]

I have a 2007 Yaris with a DTC 51 that according to other posts on this list indicate a problem in the Clock Spring.

I just replaced the clock spring with a new one and I found that there seems to have been a short in the spring on the cables with the black connector terminal on the end of the clock spring.

I've replaced everything and there's now no continuity on the cables in the the orange or the black terminals of the new clock spring.

I turned on the car and it still shows a DTC 51. I disconnected the battery and the DTC is still 51.

Have you any other advice as to how this error might be cleared?

The SRS light will then flash in a pattern to indicate the error. The pattern will groups of fast flashes, separated by longer off periods. If more than one DTC is logged, then the codes will be separated by even longer off periods.
