Regular Cab Front Seat Removal

New to the forum and long time lurker... TacomaWorld has been an awesome resource and looking for some help here since I couldn't find it through searching.

I'm looking to remove the passenger seat in my 2014 regular cab semi-permanently for a long multi-day road trip to make a more comfortable platform for my dog, a 90 lb yellow lab. I tried extending the seat by putting an archery bag target in the foot well (perfect fit, btw), and he still doesn't seem to want to lay down.

The potential issues I'm looking to head off are things having to do with the airbag sensor/codes and whether the floor with the seat removed is relatively flat to accommodate a dog bed.

Thanks!

 

There's no way I know of to remove the seat without having the airbag light on, the right seat contains the occupant detection ECU and a side airbag both of which will turn the light on and thus disable the SRS system if they aren't present.

 

Okay, thank you. Does it disable the entire SRS system or just for the passenger side? Thanks again.

 

As far as I know if the light is on the entire system is disabled.
