I wanted to clean underneath my seats in my 03 track and I removed the four bolts that hold the driver seat down. I unclipped the two clips that are attached to the underneath of the seat. I was listening to music at the time with the key in the ignition. The two clips were electrical connections, one larger than the other. There was also a 3rd connecter that wasn't connected anywhere and the passenger side had it too so I figured it wasn't needed since it wasn't hooked up over on the passenger side either.

I cleaned it up, hooked up the two connectors solidly, and bolted down the seat. Well ever since I did that my supplementary restraint system has been on and it blinks intermittently. It's not on solidly, it blinks like a turn signal. Soooo I'm confused about what caused this and I had a previous Z that I had that this didn't happen when I removed the seat.

Is there any way to get this light off? If the only way is to reset the ECU, does anyone have access to the pedal reset method?

Also they are seats from a different Z installed. I think the track model comes with cloth seats and these are full leather seats with a Z embroidered on them, they are gray and black. The previous owner told me they came from the anniversary addition or something Z

 

1) Never unplug any connector in the Z with the battery connected, much less the power turned on. Most things will trigger a CEL.

2) I believe there is a reset procedure for the air bag warning. You'd have to search to find it.

3) You can try to "easy" ECU reset - disconnect the battery, press the brake pedal so the brake lights drain any stored power in the ECU. Then reconnect the battery.

 

Thank you. I'm going to be getting to it tomorrow. I must have gotten lucky with the Red Z as it didn't go off. Hopefully it doesn't have anything to do with it being different seats...Because I don't know who originally put them in...
