What did I break (Airbag Light)

So in a fit of rage I may have punched my passenger seat (vertical portion) and now my airbag light is on and the passenger airbag is off. I didn't think there were any electronics in the back of the seat... Any ideas as to what I may have broken or where I should start my search?

2007 Tacoma TRD Off-Road Double-cab.

 

Check your anti-depressant medication. The prescription must of run out. It's a good time to remove the locked and loaded gun out of the truck...

I'm sure Google can help to find a new doctor that believes in you..... Otherwise I dunno. I don't live in Florida, good for me.

 

There is a sensor (or mechanism) under the seat which detects the weight of a passenger and cancels the airbag function if there is a child in the seat. I would disconnect the battery first and wait for 15 min?!? Before checking. You may have just caused the plug to come undone. Cross your fingers.

 

do you have side airbags in the seatback vertical ? would be an SRS tag

mine does, most do

 

I had those exact symptoms recently. The dealer needed to recalibrate the sensor(s) then all was good again. Cost $50

Was not caused by treating my seat like a punching bag though

 

Nothing good comes from punching inanimate objects. It only causes bruised fist and broken things that you have to fix or pay to fix.

I agree you may have damaged the side curtain air bag if you are so equipped. I don't think there are any sensors in the seat back, but the side air bag is in there..
