Airbag light for driver side blinks off and on during driving at speeds between 35-45 mph. This occurred at 209,560 +/- miles. This is occuring with other issues in the electrical modules including abs control malfunction, power supply voltage yaw/deceleration sensor and it loses communication with steering angle sensor module. This seems to not only be an issue with my vehicle but others as well from reading many forums on Toyota Sienna vans including ones just a few years old.
Airbag light turn on with no reason.
Mileage 128,054 airbag light went gone off. Toyota saying the entire airbag system needs to be replace. They performed a hard computer rest. 02/13/17 - 02/25/17 (current) the light comes on at different times�. Light comes on when car is started in park light comes on once the car is started and the driver seat belt is connected light comes on once the car is started, driver seat belt connected and the car is in drive. The dealership replaced the dashboard on a recall and since then the airbag light has been on.
The air bag light is on for the third time since I got my car, it got fixed twice before under the warranty but now is not in the warranty no more.
Airbag light came on for no apparent reason. Dealership wants $5000 to replace the airbag harness assembly because the impact image sensor is damaged. This seems like a great deal of money for a sensor.
2005 Sienna, srs airbag light came on while driving. Vehicle has not been involved in a crash. Connectors were checked and were secure. Ran scan on srs with innova 3150 and received error code b0101 "open in d squib circuit". After researching online, it seems to be a common problem in the 2005 and 2006 models. There should be a recall. Some dealers just want to replace the entire airbag system, which is an expensive solution. This is a huge safety concern for Toyota.
Airbag light on. Dealer says a tiny plastic piece is missing. Toyota doesn't make a plastic piece replacement (probably less than $1) so instead I have to pay about $3000 for an entire new wire harness.
Airbag light comes on due to faulty wiring harness (or location). According to manual this means that the airbag(s) turn off as the occupancy sensors do not work properly. The wiring harness itself is located where I put my left foot when sitting on the passenger side with the seat pushed back. It is a bad design that endangers lives. Recommend a recall.
Air bag lights came on for no apparent reason, after a month it still blinks.
Air bag light began flashing. Dealer scanned airbag system code and found b0111 open side squib circuit. There was an open connector on the passenger side wire harness for air bag. Dealer replaced connector and wire kit, installed new connector and soldered wire to existing harness and installed new corrugated tubing. This resulted in a $523 charge.
The air bag indicator light flashed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was assessed to have an open circuit in the air bag assembly. The entire air bag harness assembly was replaced at a cost of $2600. Many people are not able to afford this expense and will drive their vehicle without the air bags working properly.
Toyota Sienna 2005 developed two major problems about 6 years and 40,000 miles on it (right after warranty runs out). 1. Passenger side front airbag malfunction resulting in airbag lights being on. Dealer is quoting $700 dollars. More importantly, the fact that this important life saving device malfunctioning at just 6 years and right after warranty runs out. Several other people have had exact same issue as evidenced by discussions in consumer forums on the internet. 2. Driver side door makes loud popping noise while opening and closing. Dealer confirmed that the welds in the driver hinges have broken. Cost to repair (replace door !!) is $2400. Toyota customer experience center claimed that a notification about this issue was mailed out, which I have never received. They extended the warranty to cover 5 years and guess what? it breaks at 6 years. Both issues are important safety concerns and speaks volumes about Toyota quality and cutting corners by designing products that work only until warranty is valid. Toyota customer experience representative refused to escalate the matter to higher ups in Toyota saying that she has the authority to decide what should be done. They also refused to shoulder the cost to repair. The representative was also unaware of the reasons why the airbag would malfunction. Nhtsa should investigate these issues and force Toyota to recall.

I bought a brand new Toyota Sienna from piercey Toyota located at 2108 n. First street san jose, CA 95131 on June 21, 2005. The air bag light was flashing at the first time we drove it home. I took the car back to the dealer on June 22, 2005 and they fixed it. They replaced my car's ecu with a new one. I have not had a problem with the air bag light since then. However, my question is how can they delivered a brand new car with air bag problem.
