I hit a big bump in the street last night and now my airbag indicator warning light won't stop flashing.. I drove it again this morning and it is still flashing. Has this happened to any of you guys before and is there anything I can do to clear it up, other than taking it to the dealer??

Thanks!

yeah, it happens once in a blue moon with my 07.passenger airbag light flashes.

 

So does the flashing go away on its own or what?

 

It happend in my truck. Hit a pothole about a year ago and it's still on.

anybody have a clue where I can find the reset procedure for a 1997 Nissan hardbody? I doubt the procedure is the same as the Z's.

Try using the reset procedures to get rid of your light. If you search you will find them or if I remebr i will give you the link.

EDIT.

Here is the reset steps. Good luck..... Let us know if it worked. It may take you a few times because the timing of the steps I hear as to be exact.


Flashing Blinking Airbag Warning Light Reset Procedure
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing

 

Thanks Chad. I was looking for how to turn this damn light off. I, too, hit a small hole and the light popped on. Those directions worked great and on the first try as well.

 

Thanks for the info Chad.. I'm going to try it this evening... I'll post my results.

 

FYI... The instructions that Chad provided worked exactly as he described them.. Thanks!!!!

 

chad.....thank you so much for the valuable information!!! i too needed to take away the flashing light for inspection and it worked!!! no more flashing light, i just hope when i go and they plug into the OBD2 port, it wont show in the system. GREAT INFORMATION!!!!!

My airbag light started flashing last night, and I didn't even hit a pothole. Thanks for the reset instructions here, it worked great !!

 

ya happened to me had to take it to the dealer it was the passenger airbag in the seat they charged me like $20,000 to fix it god im so glad i dont have a z any more

 

After I had my Vortec installed my airbag light stays on! I might have to for those instructions.

 

unfortunately mine too is now on, but resetting it hasnt fixed it (comes back on within a minute or 2)
