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?

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.
