I had a Celica and I also could not get the belt to stop.  The locks seem to
operate on forward deceleration of the vehicle, not belt motion.

Occassionally when travelling down hill at a good rate of speed (35-45mph)
and braking fairly hard I would find myself pushed against a locked
shoulder belt.  Several time during the time I owned that car I would repeat
this experiment to test the belt and the results were repeatable enough to
maintain my confidence in the belt.
