Hi Guys,

Okay here it goes, i installed a new dash cluster only to find that the previous owner had disconnected the Air Bag light.

When i installed the new cluster the Air Bag light would flash on and off repeatedly.

Now since i am 99% certain that there was no accident history i began to wonder why this could happen?? Well i think i have the answer afer some searching.. :D

Click here

It seems as though the way to fix this is to reset the Air Bag ECU, very strange procedure:

You can get rid of it by...

Flashing ABS light reset

Key on door open

Key off

Key on

Hit the door pin switch 10 times

Will only work if light is flashing

Can someone explain this process in more detail please? what does each step mean?

Im sure this will be of help to other fellow S2 GTR Drivers some day!

Thanks,

Harry

best way is to check the fault with a scan tool

so you know what part of the SRS system is causing the control module to log a fault

but the steps you have listed above go like this

enter the car and close the door

turn the ignition on

open the drivers door and leave open

turn the ignition off

turn the ignition on

press the door pin 10 times (located on the bottom of the B pillar)

turn the ignition off

now when you turn on the ignition back on the SRS light should come on for 10 seconds and then turn off and stay off

ive got the same problem but mine is constantly on.

when i bought it, the previous owner told me he removed the steering wheel to boss kit on, only to realise theres a different boss kit for air-bagged equipped steering wheels...and its a defect, so he put the original wheel back on and ever since the light is always on

ive tried the above procedure, but no luck (prob. coz my light isnt flashing)

any help guys??

any luck finding a solution?

my 33's had the airbag light on since i purchased the thing. it has had the standard wheel replaced with a momo wheel and boss kit. i've just purchased another airbag wheel but am hesitant to fit it incase there's a fault in the system which may sett the airbag off in my face and ruin my new wheel.

i cant be sure that the light is only on becase of the non standard wheel and not because of an accident which may have occured before i purchased the car.

any help????

if you fit it all up and the ignition is off it wont go off

and even if there is a fault logged it wont fire the bag

fit the wheel and airbag, turn on the ignition (make sure your out of the car) check to see if the light is still on

if it is

follow the above procedure

Just tried that and it worked for me!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
