Airbag light on 2002 Toyota Avalon with 65000 miles was flashing and took to dealer. Diagnosed with B1141 code -side airbag sensor assembly malfunction. Cost to repair included complete replacement of the driver seat at $2000. Find this cost unreasonable and don't trust dealer that there is not a cheaper way to fix. Interesting that I had two side collisions and in either case, side airbag did not deploy. Defective airbag assembly should be replaced at no charge due to safety issue.
