InsecBob Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 If the front passenger seat for a 2008 Yaris is removed, will the driver's airbag deploy if there is an accident? (I want to remove the front passenger seat to use the vehicle to camp.) Thank you, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Can't tell you for sure, but probably not...turn the car off and detach the battery before removal though, or you'll have even more issues with the sensors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the reply. What about the driver's seat belt pretensioner system? Would that work in an accident if the front passenger seat on a 2008 Toyota Yaris is removed?

Leighcm Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 They should be different sensors, but again, it's a touchy subject when you start messing with safety equipment, so I'd probably get a one month subscription to TIS or something similar before I started taking that stuff apart., if I were you.

Thanks again for your reply. What is TIS? What is something similar? Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leighcm Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 TIS = Toyota Technical Information System. Repair manuals, wiring diagrams, etc. I think you can buy a short term subscription to it, but not sure of the costs. I know there's another company out there too, but can't think of the name.

Thanks for your responses Leighcm, Are there bypass modules that can be used to simulate an empty front passenger seat? Where could I get such a module?

Leighcm Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I doubt you'll find something like that because it would be a major safety liability issue. You'll find that when it comes to safety equipment, no one wants to alter the factory specs. Pretty much everything else is fair game, but safety is a sticky subject.
