Airbag Light On

[iamhe77]

Hey guys,

My mate is getting frustrated with his Airbag light staying on.

Has tried "factory resets" but the light stays.

He has the stock steering wheel and has taken the car to Nissan who found the error code "CRDRH".

Consult showed that the code is located in "other".

Doesn't seem to be affecting the driving of the car, but he would love to have it gone.

Any suggestions?

[waythinks]

did he check the fuse for the airbag???

[iamhe77]

Not yet.

Since he told me about 30mins before I posted this topic, we will be looking at it this arvo.

[iamhe77]

Nope.

Still there.

Any ideas?

Anyone??

..... Bueller???

Has he played around with the airbag? like has he installed the radio controller? Maybe plug in the back has come loose.

I have no idea really but I thought I would trow you a bone so you know we are trying to think of a solution.

Is this your mate with the $400 M35? If so, maybe think about the options fitted and where they may cause a problem to the airbag?

Cheers and good luck.

Such a memory you have there sir!

Yes it is the $400 M35.

Can't really think of any aftermarket stuff installed that would have interfered with the airbag.

Maybe the entertainment system he has in there, or the Nismo dash could have effected it when installed.

The confusing bit is that it has disappeared in the past - although very briefly before it came back.

when i was doing trimming and the seats were removed from cars (mostly euros, but newer nissans are likely to be similar) and the car was then driven the airbag light would say on. the only way to get it turned off was to have a dealer reset the airbags via a diagnostic style tool. possibly the airbag plug under the seat has been unplugged or has come out??

I have exactly the same problem with my car... It came imported from Japan with an aftermarket steering wheel.. everything was fine still one night air bag light starting flashing and hasn't turned of since.. nothing had been touched so I'm not sure why it came on all of a sudden..

Mine started flashing tonight and it won't go out

Wheel is stock, havn't had any collisions or anything.

Did anyone find a solution or a reason for the Airbag light to flash constantly? (comes on solid when you turn ignition on but once the engine is running it flashes).

[iamhe77]

Try this Stephen... worked for my mates car (although the light just came on again).

Turn the key to the on position and watch the airbag light. It should stay solid for 5-7 secs, and then turn off, and then start to flash.

To reset the light, you must turn the key to on, watch the airbag light stay solid for 5-7 secs and as soon as the airbag light turns off, turn the key to the off position (you have to turn the key to off before the airbag light starts to flash, or you must start over). You need to repeat this 5 times. Try to start the car, and hopefully the light will be reset

I will give that a shot, thanks dude!

I don't know as of yet what the actual error code is for my particular problem. I just tacked it on to this conversation as it referred to M35 issues with the airbag instead of starting a whole new thread.

I've been driving most of the day so I've seen enough of my car for now lol. I will give it a go tomorrow morning though and if it doesn't gel I will take it to Hornsby Nissan and get them to check it out. I want to go and meet the guys and let them know they'll have a new customer for all things nissan (i've still got to get around to getting a new rear sunroof rubber fitted, it's on the back burner for now tho!).

Once again, thanks for the assitance. Even if it doesn't help me on this occasion it's in the thread now so other's might find it if they have airbag issues.

Further to my last email I did end up going for a quick drive afterall, and I tried the suggested method and the light has now gone out.

However, if there is an issue that needs my attention I'm sure it will come back on, that being the case I will go and get Hornsby Nissan to check it out a bit further.

Thanks again

[Angus Smart]

still coming up. any suggestions?

[Chris Rogers]

need a tool attached to it for a proper idea. common thing is the seat tensioners. also bea in mind that the controller used in those was the same as the local 350z and 02/03 versions had issues with the controllers.

geez . . .come on guys . . . just go to your desk draw . . . get out some Blu-tac. . .tear of a nice size and cover the light . . .problem solved

Guys,

My airbag light was flashing and I found the solution on the net and it worked first go on my M35.

Turn the ignition to the "on" position. Watch the airbag light closely(it will be on solid) the split second it goes off(beggining to flash) turn the ignition off, count to 5. Turn back to "on" position and do the same another 2 times.

Next time you turn it to "on" position it will blink really slowly(diagnosing) Then switch off. Next time you turn it on it will be solid and then turn off completely.
