6G Celicas Forums

I removed mine about a year ago without a puller but it took about 10-15 minutes.

I needed a puller to remove my 4 spoke wheel, definitely NO way I would've gotten it w/out a puller, but to remove the 3 spoke wheel I don't expect I'd need a puller whatsoever. My guess, Yarik, since yours has been removed once already, is that you may not need one.

If you do need one, you can get it from Autozone; they "rent" them - you buy it for $20, use it, and return it for a refund (their policy!)

exactly. depends on wheel... old ST st.wheel was impossible to remove w/o puller but at GT-four it was easy. So unless you give a try you never know

Just thought I'd update this with my own findings, I was able to order this part off of http://www.handsontools.com/; prior to ordering I emailed to confirm part is in stock - part is in stock and will ship within 48 hrs. Part costs $16 on this site, but shipping is a bit high at $10 for UPS ground.

Edit: sub-"herness"? lol

Can anyone confirm this? I spliced in my 7th gen cruise stalk this weekend but it's not working.

On the 7th gen stalk, the black is crimped in with the white w/black wire, so I basically did the same with the clockspring side of the harness, cut in the W and W/B to the same on the stalk. I'm thinking this is where I went wrong - do I need to separate the B and the W/B on the stalk and splice them in separately to the clockspring side?

Also, would this possibly cause an airbag ecu code? I spliced in my airbag again, blue to black, yellow to red, reset the airbag ecu but the light is still on. I ran diagnostics on it, it's Code 12. Anyone else get this problem?

I have to run through DEQ in a month, and am pretty sure I won't pass if my SRS Warning light is on. Help!

how did you clear the airbag code? At the DLC?

Edit: Samir, I'll email you the PDF out of the BGB - it's got diagrams and PICTURES! lol

Edit again: Here's the PDFs for anyone else who wants them. "srs.pdf" has the wiring diagram, "airbag restraint system.pdf" contains trouble shooting, reset info and codes interpretation

ive got the BGB, thats why i was asking if thats how you cleared it. In that case, im gonna guess something bigger is wrong, incorrect wiring or something? code 12 is not very specific....

I think you're right, I think it's something with my connections actually.

Today I ordered the adapter harness - a bit too little, too late perhaps, I don't know. I depinned the clock-spring side of the connector, but didn't actually CUT anything off, so it's possible I could re-pin the connector, use the adapter, and be good to go!

Hey guys,

I am thinking hard about doing this swap, but I see a lot of people who are having trouble with it and I need to drive this car daily. I have a few questions, and I know some of them have been answered, but I want to be 100% confident and clear before a buy the parts to start the swap. My car is a 95 USDM by the way. First off, if I am lucky and able to find a 98-99 wheel do I still need to do splicing and modding to get the airbag to connect? What about the Rav4 wheel (looks pretty much the same imo)? Regarding cruise control, will I not be able to use my existing 6g cruise control stalk?

Shopping list:
7th gen Wheel or Rav4 wheel or 98-99 6gen wheel
7th gen airbag
Airbag connector adapter
???

Just buy the adapter posted above.

And the current cruise control works just fine?

buy the adapter and just leave the cruise control it had thats what i did (with a 7th gen wheel)

Ok, thank you very much. I really appreciate all of the knowledge that all the people of this forum have shared with me so far, it honestly means a lot.

i disabled my cruise control, the red stitch steering wheel didn't have the extra cruise control lever, but I've never used it anyway.

Hey guys, got my steering wheel on, I would like to wire up my CC lever. Does anyone still have the splicing information, or can anyone confirm that the connections batman posted are correct? One of the CC levers I have has 3 wires coming off of it, and the other has 2.

i used the old cc in my old steering wheel had but don't know about using the splicing.

I was expecting to be able to do the same, but the new stalk is much shorter inside the wheel than the old one was, the old one I have does not fit.

which steering wheel are you using because the old cc should fit just not going to be straight out would be angled down something like this \ mine defenatly fit but like i said im using the 7th gen leather wheel have no idea about the other ones ill see if i can take a pic tomorrow.

The ebay listing says that it is off of an 03 celica, but it looks more like a rav4 wheel to me, no leather wrapping, just the same material as our e-brake. The CC off of my car has 3 mounting screws, but the new wheel only has 2 mounting holes, and the mounting area is much smaller making it so that the old one will not fit.
