Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
My 2006 toyota sienna has an intermittent airbag warning lamp appear off and on. I have received numerous notifications from the manufacturer regarding various recalls which have usually been dismissed as unnecessary from the various dealers when I brought the vehicle in for inspection. I have not brought the vehicle to the dealer for the airbag warning light. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle since toyota has been mostly non-compliant when it comes to performing warranty or safety related issues with their vehicles. At least that has been my personal experience. It took the threat of disciplinary action from the u.s. Congress to get a response from the ceo of toyota to attend a hearing on vehicle safety issues, so I have no faith in toyota taking responsibility.
The air bag light keeps coming on in the van. My auto tech said the air bags do not work when the light is on. He also said the problem with the van is a wiring defect, and not a problem with the actual air bags. Toyota should recall these vans and fix them at their cost. This situation is dangerous.
The airbag light suddenly turned on one day and has remained on to this date (8/7/2019) every time when we turn on engine and drive the vehicle. We are the original car owner, and the odometer is 78919 miles. We called local toyota dealer and were informed that our 2006 toyota sienna van is not on airbag recall list.
Airbag warning light flashes. Car has 150,000 miles on it but this has been ongoing since about 60,000 miles. Blinks 3-4 times and goes off. Blinks again. If I jiggle the wires under the seat it will turn off but comes back on again eventually. Happens from the time the car is started. Recurring problem for probably 10 years. Been waiting for a fix/recall.
Toyota has an on-going issue with airbag/SRS wiring harnesses that fail. When the wiring harness fails it disables the entire SRS system. The occupant is then at risk in a collision. This condition initiated on its own and is not the result of a collision. The local toyota dealer relayed that it is a common occurrence and would cost over $2000 dollars to repair. It shows up on the obdii diagnostic as a right-side airbag squib. This code is as follows; b0106 code open in p squib circuit.

The airbag light been flashing all the time.
Airbag light is flashing. While driving or being on it flashes.
The airbag light is flashing at random interval both stationary or in motion. Unplugging and plugging the connectors many times can sometimes solve the problem for a few days or weeks. The airbag lamp would come back. It's very unsafe for driving with whole family in the car. Need a recall. This has happened for years since I owned the car 6 years ago.
