| Description of the problem | The airbag indicator light came on in my 2006 toyota sienna. I went on line to see what it could possibly be. To my surprise i read that there have been numerous complaints about this same issue. Apparently there is a problem with the airbag that requires repair that also involves the wiring harness. The fault code is b0111. There is a service bulletin (tsb 0162-10) regarding this problem. The frustrating part for me and many of the other 2006 sienna owners who have filed complaints is that this issue happens just after the toyota restraint system warranty expires at either 60 months or 60k miles. My 60 months expired exactly 16 days before the light came on and now toyota is telling me that my warranty is expired and it may not be covered. The cost of the repair is between $2000 and $3000. This problem renders the airbags useless. I don't understand how this is an ongoing problem for 2006 toyota sienna owners and a safety recall has not been imposed. This seems like a systematic failure built into the system to generate repairs and revenue. Something needs to be done about this! |
