20 Most Recent 2005 Toyota Matrix Questions & Answers

I took my 05 matrix in to the dealership today because my srs airbag light had been coming on and off for the past month. After the dealership tried charging me $90.00 to diagnose the airbag problem(which i refused to pay and won) they gave me obd code B1660. I googled this code and came up with a website matrixowners.com(this site for some reason doesn't open) but on the preview it does show. "They found code B1660 CK SYSTEM and found a bad passenger air bag indicator which is part of the clock assembly. They want 3 bills plus labor for the clock. ..." my only conclusion is that I just figured out why my clock has been coming in and out for the past year or so. I suggest if you have this clock problem you should check your air bag system and don't pay the fee to diagnose the air bag system. Your car should not have a malfunction if the air bag system if it has never been involved in an accident or modified. It is a safety issue and the air bag system should have a lifetime warranty.

I found a YouTube video, MAF Sensor Cleaning in Slow Motion-rzrDIRZ-ccs.webm, that showed me how to remove the mass air flow sensor and spray clean it with CRC mass air flow sensor cleanser. I bought the kit (single use of Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner and Throttle Body and Air-Intake Cleaner at Walmart for $7.99 in store price) and cleaned the mass air flow sensor. Then I reset the check engine light by removing and replacing the negative battery terminal. It worked. The check engine light has stayed off. I have a 2005 Toyota Matrix.

If the movement controls on the back of the mirror broke you will have to replace the entire mirror assembly. Go online to Rockauto.com and put in your car info and you will be able to select the mirror for your car. They are the least expensive place I have found for parts for do it yourself people who want to save money. Have used then for years for mirrors, headlights, fenders, hoods, etc.

Sounds like a bad switch or needs adjustment . On the back of the door their is a plunger type switch so when the door is closed its in off position when the door is open it slides out and makes the buzzers and some lights come on .I would start their.

CHANGE SPEED SENSOR.

The second fuse panel that you seek is under the dashboard, on the driver side (for a US car). This box is called the "JB1" (junction block #1), and contains several relays in addition to the 15 amp "CIG" fuse that you need to replace.
