Interior piece

I’m vacuuming the Tacoma today, and I found this under the driver’s seat, any idea where it came from?

 

Is it the center console latch or something?

 

Seat track cover?

 

No idea, everything seems to work fine, seat moves normally, center console latches and everything. If nobody here knows, I’ll just take it in with me when I have the first service done.

 

Kinda looks like the cupholder divider.

 

Looks like it but the pics are a weird angle

 

Did they put a part number in the mold?

 

Send it to me and Ill lyk

 

Does it have a PN on it? If not it could be a “fixture” or process tool used during manufacturing.
Though such a tool could also have a Toyota PN so that’s not a for sure tell lol.

 

Definitely not the cup holder divider, and there is no part number or any markings on it.

 

Did you find it on the passenger floor?

 

That was the first thing I was thinking too.

 

Yeah man, I lost a sharpie awhile back.

Seriously though, looks like the console lid hinge to me.

 

Looks to be a "seat track position sensor bracket" P/N 7227706020: https://parts.toyota.com/a/Toyota_2...GLX-35L-AT/__6714929/AIR-BAG/674470-8421.html

It's part of the airbag system (presumably the airbag's explosive yield depends on the seat's fore-aft position).

The bracket appears to be in power seats only. The equivalent sensor on manual seats is mounted directly to the seat rails by the look of the diagram:

 

But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career...

 

Awesome, thank you! I’ll take it in with me when I have the first service done!

 

Wow, great detective work!

 

It looks like the front bumper from an old 80's tyco R/C car lol. Probably not though.
