2001 V35 Sedan - Cruise Control Issues And That Dreaded Air Bag Light

Hi guys,

Anyone know a good place in Melbourne to address air bag and cruise control issues.

I've had problems for about 2yrs. I know how to reset the air bag light but it always comes back. Before it used to be a few months, now it's probably gone for 1/2 a day.

Regarding the cruise control, if I turn it on, it beeps and the warning light comes on straight away (plus the japanese warning message on the screen). Can't set speed or anything.

I've checked the pedals, read as much about it on G35 and V35 forums, but I'm stuck so I wanna go somewhere that knows this car.

Called Nissan Frankston service dept and they never heard of the car! $130 per hour to diagnose the fault.

Not sure I could trust them to find the issue.

Cheers

One of their mechanics has an M35 Stagea so they should be fine to work on them. Their consult III will give you the codes required to find the faults.

thanks Scotty...do you mean at Frankston they've got someone who knows them? May have just been the guy I got on the phone.

Besides Nissan Frankston, do you know any other places I could go or would you generally recommend a Nissan service dept.

In regards to the airbag light problem, if these are anything like the Toyota Hiluxes then it's just a small spring behind the dash that needs replacing it's a $20 job and a little bit fiddly if you don't know what you're doing. I just know that it's a common problem with Hiluxes so i'm not really sure if that's helped..

The mechanic you spoke to on the phone might not want to work on the car, you will get that a lot with these vehicles lol.

Without reading the code you could chase that light for weeks. Drop down to a Nissan dealer and get them to read the code, then take it from there. Most parts will be available S/H, I have most of them here.

Took it to Nissan, and for a couple of hundred bucks I was told my cruise control laser sensor was reporting a fault - $2000 to replace and fit.

Also told my L) air bag module was faulty - $1950 to replace and fit.

So for almost $4000 I don't think it's worth it.

Any suggestions guys?

Scotty, you mentioned some parts could be obtained S/H? Where would you suggest I start?

The parts quoted were: K8515AL500 (air bag module) and 28437AL5100 (cruise sensor). Thanks

Left airbag module, so the passenger side dash? I have one here but I can't ship it. Where are you located?

Personally I would ditch the cruise and buy an aftermarket one, they can be had for as little as $500. Mine works seamlessly and can be user adjusted, all you lose is the radar part.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.

      You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
