M35 Info

I never had a blinking one, just a solid one. I cleared it by connecting the sensors in the seat

[ironpaw]

Mine cleared after the battery was dead for a few months...

When I had a dying battery, mine would throw the Airbag light several times a day.

New battery sorted it.

Reset the fault and see how you go.

I have a consult III unit here that tells me which airbag is at fault, as well as errors from every other ecu in the car. Seems to work well from my testing and should work on any Nissan, even the older consult rectangle plugs.

Anyone interested in a group buy?

[bigkevracer]

How much were they?

I know which airbag caused mine - the steering wheel one when I did the cruise control. Reconnected the airbag properly, and it didn't go away. I also didn't reset the fault, figured it'd go away like a CEL.

Probably around $400 shipped Ryan, depending how many we get. Beware, there are a few different types out there, I have tried a few now. Some are just standard obd2 readers, some are more like a consult III clone.

Anyone in Melbourne can drop down here for diagnostic repairs now.

Or I could steal yours...

[scotty nm35]

I guess if there was one in each state where the owner was willing to help other guys out for a small payment it could work well, otherwise it's a fair investment just for your own car.

[bigkevracer]

Exactly what I was thinking. Import_zone has one in Adelaide (I can't remember if it's consult 2 or 3), just got to organise to catch up with him.

Thanks for the replies lads. So it's a common occurence for other m35 owners too...

I was just suprised the light come on in the dash unprovoked / without any collision / stuffing around with any interior bits & pieces. I just jumped in to go for a drive on Friday night, and now it just flashes away as I drive.

Come to think of it - the only thing I remotely touched (that may be close to airbag plugs or something) was the mass storage and iPod connectors that sit in my glove box for the stereo. Gave them a bit of a yank just to access them.

Will check for any electrical plugs and the sort that may be responsible tonight.

If still no go, might give the error code reading a go over the weekend, and see if I can clear it. Unfortunately me and diagnostic functions arent very familiar with eachother; knowing me I may kill something!

Cheers

The main SRS box is under the centre console, but there is the passenger side airbag connector above the glove box. Maybe the stereo leads were wound around the airbag cable?

A few interesting things to spot there.

Had a look after work today; spotted a plastic connector with orange wires that sits above a little compartment in the top center of the glove box. All looked in tact from a glance. Just made sure the wiring on the plug wasn't twisted or damaged. The stereo leads were however tucked a little snug around this plug, so i just freed them and fed them through into the glove box away from the plug in question. Managed to clear the airbag light using a method posted in another thread, but went for a drive a short time ago and sure enough the bastard is flashing again... Might need to look at full diagnostic mode to get codes. Blah...

My front driver's speaker's dead.

Is this guide applicable for our cars?

Yeah mate, that guide will help get the door apart. They are sooks tho, saying you need a 2nd person to hold it while the other unplugs the wires - bah!

Sweet. Cheers!

Is there a fuse for EACH speaker? Just wondering if its a blown fuse...

Any idea if the splits will continue to work if I replace the 6.5" speakers only?

Hey guys,

Not sure where else to post this but thought I'd let you know. There's an '03 M35 (that looks in ok nic) being wrecked for $25 in Adelaide on Gumtree.

Surely this sort of thing wouldn't happen to C34's.. ;p

The whole car isnt going for $25, I can assure you of that The company in question that have that car have typically charged an arm and a leg for any parts off the M35's they bring in to the country for wrecking. A free ad on gumtree is just a simple & cheap way of getting the word out they're doing it again

[zei20l]

lol its only worth $25 anyway due to NA 2.5L RWD. pretty much useless to any M35 owner
