R33 Airbag Light Not Turning On

[matticus]

Hi all, as the title says my airbag light is never coming on in my series 2 R33.

It has been like this for a while and I finally got around to checking it. So far I've turned up nothing but I suspect the airbag module has an internal fault.

Is there anyone in Melbourne who has a scan tool that can read errors in the airbag module?

Has anyone else had the same issue as me? What was the solution?

Thanks all!

blown globe?

Nah, I wish it was that easy. Checked the LED with a battery and works without issue.

I've buzzed out the circuit too without battery disconnected so I know there is no problem there.

Only interesting thing I have found is that after 6 or 7 seconds from turning the ignition on the circuit goes short to ground so I can only assume that the module is busted.

Still, it would be good to know if a scan tool can help or if anyone else has had the issue.

Well I am still no closer to finding the issue.

I hooked up my laptop to the car with Nissan datascan and there were no issues with the airbag module...

My only guess now is that the guy who wired in the alarm system might have used that wire for some reason (hopefully an honest mistake).

Can anyone recommend a good auto electrician who has worked on skylines in the Melbourne area? Or maybe an alarm specialist who knows R33s?

There's a method somewhere on SAU to reset your airbag system, something to do with pressing that door lock button like 5 times or something. Have a research for it
