Disable Seatbelt Warning Chime

just did my 08, one little hint will not work with any door open. after 5 trys i closed the drivers door ..bingo! thanks..

 

worked on my 2010

 

I just did this on my 08 access cab SR5 4x4 followed instuctions in above post to the T, got it on first attempt. Seat belt chime rings 5 times and then stops. Thanks for the post, I have disabled two of those annoying chimes now thanks to the things I have learned on TC!!!

 

Did not work for me: 2011 with d new gauge

 

Thanks for the info, hated this about the truck, worked perfect.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you. worked on my 2010. thanks

 

yeah i had to do this

 

My 06 never chimed, but my G.F.'s 07 FJ does it and drives me crazy. I wonder if it will work on it?.....hmmmmmm

 

Worked for me on my 2011 on the first try.

 

Worked on my '11 first try as well. THANK YOU so much! My girlfriend only lives a few blocks away and hearing that beep beep beep every time I drove such a short distance was driving me nuts!

 

Ok, we need a new fix for the 2011 new cluster. And if you disagree with the premise, IGNORE IT! Some of us are adults and can make our own decisions on when we need to buckle up.

 

I Agree...On both topics. Only, We need to Figure out this code for the new 2011 gauge.

 

I would try again. It worked for me.

 

Third trys a charm.

 

can anyone explain i have a 2011 tacoma offroad and these damn instructions havent worked after some 30 trys. Is there something missing

 

is the new cluster something different that this mod wont work

 

Yes something with the new gauge cluster changed. We really need how to turn off the chime. Drives me nuts I can't keep my work bag on the seat.

 

Just an FYI it worked on our 08' 4Runner Sport.

And yes all doors must be closed.

 

I will try this soon on my 2011

 

This was discussed above, I'm just providing the visuals on how to do it.

Below is the Seat Belt Warning EWD for the newer 2011 Tacoma. I'm not trained on reading these things, so if someone is, please chime in. But from what I can tell, the normal position for F21 is closed. Which means that it is set to chime unless the switch is opened and that it done by buckling the seat belt. So I figure that if I just unplugged it, it would be equivalent to always being plugged in.

Looking under the driver side seat, F21 is the the part circled.


And it's easily unplugged, so that's what I did.



And it works! No seat belt warning chime, no flashing light. The air bag light comes on and goes off just as it should. My biggest concern in doing this was that it might affect the air bag when I actually am buckled, but from reading through the repair manual and EWDs I don't believe it has any affect. But again, I'm no expert, so do at your own risk until someone who is chimes in.
