Hey guys, got into our V35 this arvo to be greeted with the icons in the posted picture below flashing on the dash. Now from thne manual it looks to have something to do with the airbag system. Obviously the airbags aren't deployed so anyone have any clue as to what it might be or how to diagnose the problem? Would Nissan be able to help (doubtful I know)

Cheers

look at the seat harnesses first. that looks like a 35 so there will be at least 8 airbags in it. nissan can reset that light for a fee. the consult 2 unit will read the car.

Yeah it's a 35 Chris... I'll make sure to look at the seat harness tomorrow, what exactly should I look for? Loose connections? If not I may have to call up Nissan and see how we go from there :domokun:

I can remember reading somewhere that in most cars, airbags need to be checked as part of servicing, and as said once checked the light can be reset. Is this correct Chris?

I think it's like in some cars when it's time for a service the k's blink when you start up, and will keep doing so until you reset it.

check under your seat there will be a wiring harness and clip, dare say it has come undone

I am 6'7 and I have seat all the way back on its rails,

had some one sit behind my wife whilst she drove and they scrunched the floor mat up under the drivers chair, I moved the chair back next time I drove and the light came on. 35 pesos for Nissan to reset.

I know the service manager so I didn't get charged for it.

Hope this helps

Mike

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
