i got an 06 350z with 45k miles and my air bag light went on. I wanted to see if anyone else ran into this problem? The dealer is already telling me it probably won't be covered under warranty since i have so many miles. just wanted to see other peoples experiences thanks in advance

 

Yep...mine came on and i took it to the dealership. They turned it off by resetting the code i think (they were being lazy). I left the dealership and the light was off. The next time i went out and started my car the light came back on and stayed on for 4 months until i got around to taking it back in. Anyway, they fixed it...it needed a new airbag module for the passenger side and was covered under warranty.

 

they run the consult on it and clear the code. they do a self test as well so it can pass. not very difficult to do.

 

Well obviously whatever they did to mine the first time didnt work.

 

I have a G and same happened to me. Took it to the dealer 3 times before they finally changed to module. It should still be covered under warranty. Thought it was 4yr/60,000 mi warranty on z also. My z used to carry that warranty

 

thanks for the help guys. the guy was telling me 3yr/36k i might just bring it in and hope for the best

 

mine just came on weds night and has been blinkin in my face since...

Nissan takes forever to make an appointment though... ill see if my mechanic can hook me up and fix it for free

 

you can reset it yourself...i dont remember the sequence but search airbag reset and you should find it. its kinda weird. turning the key to the on posion for a number of seconds a few times will reset it.

 

1) Put the key into the ignition and wait until the airbag light starts to flash ....

2) Turn the ignition off ... wait ten seconds (use a stopwatch) and repeat step 1. Do this four times. Light should turn off."

 

good to know. I'll try this tonite.

 

didnt work for me...oh well off to the dealership i go

 

This worked. I turned the ignition off immediately when the airbag light went out. -I didn't wait for the light to flash. Waited 10 seconds and repeated 4 times.

Thanks!

 

wow i gotta try this i'll tell you guys how it goes later thanks

 

Worked beautifully thanks!

 

This worked GREAT. I did exactly as mentioned above. It worked on the first try. Thanks again guys- saved me a trip to the dealer!


Now let's hope it dosn't come back on-

 

worked like a charm thank you guys you saved me some $$$

 

itll come back for about a month intermitently ...then it will not come back

 

I went to the dealership last month for this and they try to rip me off. I was like whatever and I use the search button on this forum and and fixed it myself. Thank you for the info my fellow Z members..

 

Mine has come on on 2 occassions and I just reset it myself. If it starts to happen more than every 6 months then I'll take it in.
