air bag questions

the passenger air bag light is illuminated as on but i do not see a switch or know how to turn it off despite there clearly being an off position.
can someone help me out here?

i also have a button labled something like RSC, cant remember it exactly. is this to disable the rear side curtian bags?

thanks guys

 

there should be a key switch on the passenger side to turn the air bag from auto on to off

 

well crap, i can't find it anywhere.

 

thats really weird, in my 99 and my 09 there was that little key switch right there on the dash, and yeah that other button is just for the side curtain bags

great, thanks lsocoee. here is a crappy cell phone pic just for good measure

 

alright guess its not like the 09 or 99 haha mine has a key switch off to the right of the stereo there, sorry about that wish i could help

 

it could be for the seatbelt warning as well? but im not sure i dont have a double cab

 

yeah just a thought haha but that is weird that there is no switch, did they change that for the 09? mine has the sensor or an option to just turn it off

 

haha maybe but you know im just not sure ive only owned a 99 and an 09

 

one more question for you guys, why would you even want to turn off the rear bags?

 

when your going off road and you flip with nobody with you they wont go off so its less you have to pay? haha not really sure just what i think

 

RSCA means Roll Sensing Curtain Airbag I believe, so it's not just the rears. According to Toyota, they can be triggered on a severe tilt angles, so you want to turn them off to prevent them from deploying when off-roading.
