Air Bag Light On Dash

[GMan]

yea i just bought my new car today!!! 98 skyline r34 gt-t...not bought as a perfect car but wot is these days

just the airbag light on the dash is continiously flashing and not quite sure of what that means. would anyone know how to fix it? it has the factory steering wheel on it which has the standard airbag as well

cheers!

If the R34's are the same as the R33's, sometime the airbag light will flash if the battery has been disconnected.

To reset it, the procedure on the R33's was to press the driver door switch (for the interior light) seven time within 10 seconds of turning the ignition on - sounds wierd I know, but it works on the R33's lol

If it keeps flashing it could be two things - the reset procedure is different on the R34's, or something is stuffed

ah thanks j,

what do you mean by the drivers door switch?

[gtrchick]

when u open and close your drivers door the interior light goes on or off, the bottom sil where your scuff plate iss near the rear door hinges will have a little switch with a rubber cover on it, pushing it in and out turns the interior light on and off. Exactly the same as your fridge door.

I think thats what he was refering to?

hey guys... i just tried this trick and it worked!!!!!!!!!

this was really buggin me! I thought my car had been in an accident and the airbags weren't replaced haha.

so a quick question: if there really is a fault, we could expect this little reset process to not have any effect? ie the airbag light would continue flashing?

Anyone know what the various flashing patterns etc indicate? Some people are reporting their light just stays constantly on.

I had the same issue on my 89 Stagea. I fixed it by Holding down the door light switch, turning the ignition to ON, then releasing and pressing the button 5 times. I turned the ignition off, then on again, and it worked. So I suppose 7 or 10 or more would work as well.

had the same problem on my r33 gtst!

Bloddy battery keeps going flat cause I havent driven it in a while (6 months)

Tried it and it worked! awesome job guys saved the day again!

[Jmaac]

Yes if theres actually an error it would continue flashing once you tried to restart your car

your resetting the SRS computer by doing this... the steering wheel may of been taken off at some stage or someone shorted one of the SRS wires

[Stormchaser]

Now the bloddy light has come on but its not flashing. Its just on, Ive tried to reset it but It wont work.

What the hell is going on, trying to get a goddamn blue slip!

f**king cars!

[Stormchaser]

Bump

someone has to know what to do?

[Dahtone Racing]

where are you located

you need to get it diagnosed properly

scan tools are the easiest way

[Stormchaser]

Southern Highlands NSW.

As the car has been sitting around for the last 5 months and I have been working on it alot to get it ready for the blue slip the battery has been going flat. I have had to jumpstart it a fair few times in the last few weeks, could this be the cause of the problem?

I know taking the car to the dealership sounds like the best soultion yet Im a little worried in driving the car 20mins to nissan seeing as its unregistered.

[Mikyel]

where about are you in sydney

[discopotato03]

I can fix it for u $50 the proper way i got the machine that fixes it will cost u $70 i come to u , Machine cost me $12k, also can clear any other faults or codes if you want , all for one price but i dont travel out of sydney. Also resets the airbag module so in case you do get in an accident your airbag will deploy if interested let me know . My email is [email protected]

Can you reset the SRS airbag light prob on an S2 R33 GTS25T with a PFC ?

Cheers A .

Thank God. Absolute magic!!! I had to try a few times, first i was going too fast, then i slowed it down to about just under a second interval, and the pesky warning light was Gone!!!!!

btw, the car is a S2 R33

Thanks guys.

[scrags]

You guys are absolutely magic! I just got my car back after having all my mods done (4 weeks of not being started), and we had to jump start

the car. The air bag light came on flashing while driving.

Put up with it for a few days, and then found this on SAU! You guys are absolute champions!

My car is also a S2 R33.

Thanks for the fix!

Thanks guys, I remember why I joined SAU!!

I have booked myself in with Nissan have this problem fixed next week after having the car of the road for ages, but thought I should try something else.

Sure enough this trick worked. Had to do it a couple of times first time I got it to work it went from flashing fast to slow & then after the second attempt it went out all together

Going to call Nissan tomorrow & tell them where to stick it (I spent over $3k in parts & they were still going to charge me $66 for 2 minutes work!)

Cheers,

Jared

I was freaking out about this light also but its fixed now after I have followed this procedure.

Thanks heaps fellas

Just wandering if this would get rid of my HICAS light aswell.. Turns on after 20 mins of a long straight (usually on fwys)
