When I bought my Lexus IS200t from the auction the airbag was stolen and the wires where cut from clockspring. I bought the wires because it was cheaper but now I don't know the color code on them because the wires are different colors. I was hoping someone can help identify the color codes for me. Thanks. The blue is the horn wire. Need Color code for others The wire I bought.
I checked the wiring diagram for an IS200T, but it does not show which wires are which...likely because these are considered the component side wires, which Toyota does not put in wiring diagrams.
Typically the harness terminates at the component with a connector...very few components have their own harness that connects to the vehicle harness. Unfortunately this is one of them.
Additionally, Toyota absolutely never, and I mean never, recommends repairing the wiring for any part of the SRS system. If a single wire is damaged in an SRS harness, they instruct to replace that harness. Safety is the number one factor here.
Personally I wouldn't be messing with an SRS harness at all.
Having said that, did you ask the dealer if you can buy the harness that goes from the clock spring (or as it's officially known, Spiral Cable) to the airbag?
I can't imagine that it's too expensive since it's so short, and has few wires.
Your best bet is to buy the clock spring from dealer, as someone mentioned above the safety of you or the others if you resell the car will be compromised.
From the pic above it looks like the harness for the airbag plugs into the Spiral Cable.
I don't think he will even need to buy the Spiral Cable...just the harness.
I've never seen a Spiral Cable with a harness coming off of it...typically there is a harness on the back that comes from the column side, and then the harness on the airbag.
over 10 years ago, I picked up a 01 GS300 and there were wiring issues. certain windows didn't work, random lights blink in the gauge cluster. So I went to https://techinfo.toyota.com/ and found all the pins to the dash cables and the MPX controller in one of the passenger windows and found a few wires pined incorrectly. Not sure how this happened but it was an incomplete project from another person. needless to say, the toyota TIS site would be a great place to start for wiring layout
BTW, Looks like your car is a non-fsport model. I would stay away from F sport parts as they dont have options like non-fsports have. So you might have missing pins in harnesses.
I'd buy a new clock spring with plugs already attached.
looked like you have 5-6 wires that need to go somewhere that were cut.
The airbag consist of 4 for those two plugs. the last wire is probably the horn wire.
