whitestag Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I know its been spoken many times before, But I havent seen any referance to this.. so thought you might like to have a little look and comment on if you think it would work, it says stagea there... http://translate.google.com.au/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/naniwaya/bosr/option/option_cancelar.htm been finding heeps of goodies recently on the net, like eyelids and such..

scotty nm35 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 If we knew the resistance required and the pins we need to short with it, it would only cost 2 bucks to fix... Perhaps you should buy one and measure it for the rest of us? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358286-airbag-light/#findComment-5724791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Yep, will work - Ive got one (or something very similar) in my car (came with it from Japan). Its basically just a resistor, to make the airbag system think that the sensor is still attached.

ironpaw Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 hmm does it fix anything apart from turning off the light? No point if the airbags are still not going to go off when you stack...

zei20l Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 dont quote me, but if the system finds a fault, no airbag will deploy in the event of an accident. therefore, no error lights will deploy the required airbag (assuming you have one connected). so putting the resistor in the place of the airbag will stop the fault code and the system will act 'normally' Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358286-airbag-light/#findComment-5724967 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironpaw Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 ahh ok sweet. Too bad we can never "confirm" this fix unless one of us totals the car Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358286-airbag-light/#findComment-5725015 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zei20l Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 i dont think there is a sensor in the seat its a ram that tilts the seat backwards........ i think for people with the safetly pack, there are bags in the ouside edge of the seat too.

I've got one sitting on my desk at home, I havent the foggiest idea how it operates - I assumed it was a sensor of some description (the warning on it is DO NOT DROP so I figured it worked as G/shock Sensor), but it could well tilt the seat in the event of a crash. I'll take some photos of it tonight Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358286-airbag-light/#findComment-5725058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zei20l Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 the gforce sensor sits in the middle of the car, and is a square box with 2 plugs on it. your airbag system wont work at all without it. the seat ones are a cylinder shape and have a plug at one end Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358286-airbag-light/#findComment-5725081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commsman Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Here's my understanding of this after lots of research & trying various "solutions". The ram/s under the seats are to stop submarining in the event of an accident. They could tilt the seat as Iain suggested or, as I'm led to believe, push the front foam cushion up under your thighs to stop you sliding forward into the footwell. Same result in the end. I can't actually tell physically where they live under the seat since mine are gone & I just have the yellow connectors swinging in the breeze. The fix that has worked on some cars (notably GTRs) was for a 2.2 ohm resistor, but this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...ht-t340591.html shows guys going for this u-turn harness http://gt-rr.com/pro..._harness&id=761. I actually bought these ones http://www.tunersgro...rn_harness.html for my M35. They even took exact details of my car to make sure of compatibility. The interesting thing is they don't show up any resistance when measured with a mutimeter...... The result? Nothing worked in my case , but I would be happy to send the Works Bell u-turn harnesses to anyone who wishes to try them out. I'm still waiting on a spare SRS module from some guy with a wrecked one, just to see if my problem is bigger than the harness can fix.

bLaQ.bOi Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 i unbolted my drivers seat last night. found wires that went to a big yellow connection UNPLUGGED... i unplugged it.. did the reset sequence. and no more flashing light! yay you hafta do the factory reset even after you plug things back in1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/358286-airbag-light/#findComment-5727185 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zei20l Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 i think you mean you plugged it in on my electric seats, there is a clip holding the yellow plug into the back of the ram. looks like it can pop off easily. pull your seats out guys, might be a simple fix like above!!

bLaQ.bOi Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 hahha there was too much excitement whilst posting my previous comment lol... and agreed on pulling your seats out!
