If you haven't already taken it in, the 2011 falls under the Takata airbag recall so the Toyota dealer will replace it for free.

He mentioned putting rocks under the driver's seat. There is wiring for the side airbag under the seat, which has likely been broken, and Toyota isn't going to fix it for free.
Going to need to remove the seat and inspect the damage. Just a few plastic covers at the ends of the seat rails, 4 bolts, a few wiring harnesses, and it comes right out. You will need a good scan tool (several hundred dollars) to talk to SRS module and get/clear its trouble codes. Usually SRS malfunctions will self clear in the event of an open circuit, once the wiring is repaired/replaced.
