04 1.4 Has anyone had a Problem with Air bag Squib - Adiman
1.4 D4D Yaris. I would like to know if anyone as had a problem with the drivers Airbag light coming on. The Airbag light comes on if the wire is broken from the Squib. My problem arised while my clutch as been replaced, the steering colum was detatched and probably allowed to twist breaking the wire unknown to the mechanic or should i say (technician). Now he's trying to make out that there's a common problem with the Drivers Airbag. CAn anyone Help

04 1.4 As anybody had a Problem with Air bag Squib - elekie&a/c doctor
All too common issue with any car where the steering shaft is detached from the rack and the column is not locked into central position or the column is not centralised on re-assembly.The airbag coupling or clockspring has only a limited travel(usually around 2.5 turns lock to lock),beyond this ,the flexible printed cicuit will break/fracture.hth
