    2014 Prius C,4dr.104k. Texas car from relative. I'm in Northern Illinois.
    1) Is there a way to drive it without engine running since I do alot of short trip drives. It's not near as quiet running as my Ole 2005 Impala is,that runs so quiet you don't know it's running.
    2). Has air bag & passenger seat icon on meaning either seat switch or belt clip is bad. Replacing belt clip fairy easy ? Seat switch requires removal of said seat. Ugh.
    Might just sell it if I can fix those icons. Just too tiny of a car for me, not much room to put stuff into.

    First get the airbag trouble codes so you know what it's trying to tell you about, then fix that. Better likelihood of first-try success than guessing what it means.

    If it still works in Prius c, this method can get you the airbag codes without a scan tool:
