Does anyone know how to remedy a flashing Airbag light?

My car got 'light' over the crest of a bridge. Coming down the otherside when my car settled itself the airbag light started flashing and has been ever since!

If i could remember correctly, try this.

have the ignition on, have the door open and press the door light switch 7 times witin 5 seconds, then switch it off......start your car and see if it goes away.

Yeah - it's right Tim.

The R33 has a thing where you have to press the door switch and touch the brake 7 times to reset the ECU - something like that anyway, I can't quite remember.

Those wacky guys at Nissan must have been serious Tekken fans :)

Would something as simple as disconnecting the battery solve my dilemma?

If I did disconnect my battery am I likely to loose all the settings in my AVC-R and SAFC-II ?

Hey tim,

Have you tried rays suggestion???

Hes not jk like you may think.. alot of the ecu triggest are connected through door lights etc..

Give it a shot and if it doesn't work post up and someone may have another solution for you :nyaanyaa:

No it won't work by disconnecting the battery and no you won't lose your settings

Have tried what I told you......this is how you reset your airbag.

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
