Default Airbag light blinking

I have had my airbag light blinking now for two weeks and was wondering if there is anything i can do before i bring it into the dealer. i have tried this process....

1. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ON.
2. Air Bag warning lamp is on for 7 seconds and turns off, the turn ignition switch OFF within 1 second after the lamp turn off.
3. After ignition switch is turned OFF, wait for more than 3 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 twice. (Perform 3 times in total.)
5. Turn Ignition switch ON.
6. The SRS lamp has been reset it.

However it has not worked out for me. My car is a 2004 Z track model with side and side curtain airbags. My warranty is over and I don't want to spend a crap load to fix this. Can someone help me out.

Turn on the car and does it Blink on for 7 sec. and off once and then blinks 5 sec on and 1 sec off over and over?Then you have a hard failure. If this is the case only the dealer can fix.

i'm not quite sure what you are saying, but when i turn on the car, it does not blink til like 7 seconds later. then it still continues to blink until i turn off the engine. i'm going to champion nissan on tuesday to see if they can fix it, also they are doing my fuel line recall.

I am having the samething happening. I was just driving along and the airbag light just started to blink. I have a 2004 touring model 5AT. Im going to see if the error message comes up on my odb2 scanner when i get home tonight. If not its off to the dealer i go. I a little over 34,000miles.
Relentless23 sounds like we both have the same proplem. When i take mine in for the airbag, im also doing the fuel line recall.

yeah i took it to champion nissan in katy and, they quoted me $88 just for the diagnostic. i didn't do the diagnostic but they said it could be a bunch of things making the srs go off. faulty airbag sensor, etc. they did say that if the cause is b/c of the seatbelt, i wouldn't have to pay anything. but they said it could cost a couple hundered dollars. not only that, i just now realized i have the tire feathering problems. man everything is going wrong with my car.

i heard for the feathering, they extended the warranty to 36 months and unlimitted miles. where did you guys go to correct the feathering?? My car's warranty has passed. I have a 04 track with 40000 miles. also does anyone know where i can get a nismo exhaust for a good price. thanks

hey I just had my driver airbag replaced and when they replaced it it takes I think 3 sensors (modules) anyway my light would flash I would take it up their and they would reset it be ok till I drove home killed the car and as soon as I started the car it would flash long story short one of the modules was bad so it had to be replaced.
