I know the passenger seat has a weight sensor, but does this sensor enable/disable the passenger airbag? I have a friend who wants to swap out the stock seats for a set of racing seats, but doesn't want to lose the function of his passenger airbag. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

well.... from my previous experience... the passenger airbag went off even without a passenger in the seat...

 

i kno if you swap out drivers seat, if u want airbag to work u need to swap the sensors onto the racing seat
i believe it would be the same for the passenger seat as well

 

Thank you for the responses.

 

Yes, you can swap out the sensors, I have done so on other Toyota cars.

dont mean to resurrect an old thread but how do you swap (the sensors) it, i have a pair of corbeau trs seats.

 

tear apart your old seat... install in new one.

 

whoa whoa whoa. thats for the weight sensor. i just took the magnet off. that's all you should need.

 

LOL. The weight sensor doesn't look fun - 4 of them, one on each corner. At least that's what the manual says, then you're supposed to do a seat weight calibration with the factory scan tool? Driver's side position sensor is no problem. I have a set of red/black Celica seats in my kitchen that will make their way into the car at some point... Keepin the old thread alive...
