I've tried this at least 15 times now, I must be doing something really stupid because it's not working for me.

I've gotten in the car, key in ignition on "OFF" switched it to "ON" (not started it), opened door, pressed the door switch 5 times fast. No go. Tried it again, pressed 5 times slowly (1 second in between), still no go.

Tried it the same way by pressing the door switch after waiting for the airbag light to start blinking, tried this both 5 times fast and 5 times slow. No worky.

It's driving me crazy, as I know I'm doing something wrong, as there is no change in the way the light flashes, so it doesn't seem the airbag module is going into diagnostic mode...

Any ideas??

Try the same process but start with the door already opened. I dare say that clicking the ignition on and then opening the door makes it think you're pressing the door switch 6 times instead of 5.

Give it a shot and let us know how you go.

P.S > it's 7 times you have to press it too. Sus out the second post on the first page.

great fix it seems but anybody ever thought more through it and considered that there might be a problem with the airbag?

wouldnt want it not working in case you end up needing it..

or even having it go off when you dont need it-

Had a similar problem to this on my 33, but the air bag light was staying on and not flashing. My horn was also not working, so it was clear that my clock spring was cactus. Replaced it and it was all good.

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

Cheers A .

Thread bump of old post but just confirming that it will work on a car with a PFC.

I tried some of the procedures listed here and changed the frequency of the blinking light but couldn't clear a slow flash but with perserverance had success with the following sequence at the end.

1. turn door light off by holding switch (at door or roof)

2. turn key to on position

3. immediately switch light on at least 7 times (airbag light goes out)

4. start car

My r33 gtst s2 i had to hold button in on door then put ig nition on and try the 7 presses which changed the aurbag light to flash slower and just an ignition off n on and all good!! :)

sorry to again revive an old thread... I've got a 97 C34 Stagea and my airbag light flashes all the time. i've tried this method and it changes to a flashing sequence.

off long

on long

off short

on short

then repeats.

then if i do the door light trick, it goes back to constantly flashing. i'm assuming this is a diagnostic code.

also, my horn used to work intermittantly, now doesn't... i checked all the connections. found nothing. i think it may be a clock spring. would that have this affect?

cheers

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
