To reset the airbag light that's on in a Toyota Tacoma, locate the wiring harness under the passenger's seat with a yellow, grey, or black casing. Unclip the harness and remove it, as it connects to the passenger's side airbag. Look for a "CAUTION" sticker to identify it easily. Wait for 1-3 minutes after removing it, then restart the vehicle. This should resolve the issue by resetting the connection. If the problem persists, there may be a blown fuse. Check the airbag fuses in the fuse box and replace any that are blown.
What does it mean when my car's manual says to replace a fuse with an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) instead? It doesn't mention replacing the fuse later to turn off the airbag light.
Here's a paraphrased version of the text with a unique twist: To clear the airbag indicator on a Toyota Tacoma, insert the key into the ignition and switch it to the "off" position without starting the vehicle. After waiting for 5 minutes, swap out the fuse with the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). The indicator lights on the dashboard will flash briefly before turning off, indicating a successful reset of the system.
I can't even find a fuse that connects to the ECU in this 2021 Toyota TRD Doublecab 4X4. Additionally, you mentioned replacing the fuse with an ECU - what exactly does that entail?
What if you've completed all of those tasks, but the issue still persists?
I'll need to locate the specific fuse box responsible for managing the airbag indicator light.
I followed all of the recommendations, but the driver's side light is still on and the airbag warning remains illuminated.
