If the R34's are the same as the R33's, sometime the airbag light will flash if the battery has been disconnected.

To reset it, the procedure on the R33's was to press the driver door switch (for the interior light) seven time within 10 seconds of turning the ignition on - sounds wierd I know, but it works on the R33's lol

If it keeps flashing it could be two things - the reset procedure is different on the R34's, or something is stuffed :D

when u open and close your drivers door the interior light goes on or off, the bottom sil where your scuff plate iss near the rear door hinges will have a little switch with a rubber cover on it, pushing it in and out turns the interior light on and off. Exactly the same as your fridge door.

I think thats what he was refering to?

hey guys... i just tried this trick and it worked!!!!!!!!!

this was really buggin me! I thought my car had been in an accident and the airbags weren't replaced haha.

so a quick question: if there really is a fault, we could expect this little reset process to not have any effect? ie the airbag light would continue flashing?

Anyone know what the various flashing patterns etc indicate? Some people are reporting their light just stays constantly on.

I had the same issue on my 89 Stagea. I fixed it by Holding down the door light switch, turning the ignition to ON, then releasing and pressing the button 5 times. I turned the ignition off, then on again, and it worked. So I suppose 7 or 10 or more would work as well.

Yes if theres actually an error it would continue flashing once you tried to restart your car

your resetting the SRS computer by doing this... the steering wheel may of been taken off at some stage or someone shorted one of the SRS wires

Southern Highlands NSW.

As the car has been sitting around for the last 5 months and I have been working on it alot to get it ready for the blue slip the battery has been going flat. I have had to jumpstart it a fair few times in the last few weeks, could this be the cause of the problem?

I know taking the car to the dealership sounds like the best soultion yet Im a little worried in driving the car 20mins to nissan seeing as its unregistered.

I can fix it for u $50 the proper way i got the machine that fixes it will cost u $70 i come to u , Machine cost me $12k, also can clear any other faults or codes if you want , all for one price but i dont travel out of sydney. Also resets the airbag module so in case you do get in an accident your airbag will deploy if interested let me know . My email is [email protected]

Can you reset the SRS airbag light prob on an S2 R33 GTS25T with a PFC ?

Cheers A .

just a few seconds and POW! no more annoying blinking AIRBAG light!

thanks to who ever who thought about this trick!

You guys are absolutely magic! I just got my car back after having all my mods done (4 weeks of not being started), and we had to jump start

the car. The air bag light came on flashing while driving.

Put up with it for a few days, and then found this on SAU! You guys are absolute champions!

My car is also a S2 R33.

Thanks for the fix!

Thanks guys, I remember why I joined SAU!!

I have booked myself in with Nissan have this problem fixed next week after having the car of the road for ages, but thought I should try something else.

Sure enough this trick worked. Had to do it a couple of times first time I got it to work it went from flashing fast to slow & then after the second attempt it went out all together

Going to call Nissan tomorrow & tell them where to stick it (I spent over $3k in parts & they were still going to charge me $66 for 2 minutes work!)

Cheers,

Jared

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
