Hey guys,

My mate is getting frustrated with his Airbag light staying on.

Has tried "factory resets" but the light stays.

He has the stock steering wheel and has taken the car to Nissan who found the error code "CRDRH".

Consult showed that the code is located in "other".

Doesn't seem to be affecting the driving of the car, but he would love to have it gone.

Any suggestions?

Nope.

Still there.

Any ideas?

Anyone??

..... Bueller???

Has he played around with the airbag? like has he installed the radio controller? Maybe plug in the back has come loose.

I have no idea really but I thought I would trow you a bone so you know we are trying to think of a solution.

Is this your mate with the $400 M35? If so, maybe think about the options fitted and where they may cause a problem to the airbag?

Cheers and good luck.

Andy

Such a memory you have there sir!

Yes it is the $400 M35.

Can't really think of any aftermarket stuff installed that would have interfered with the airbag.

Maybe the entertainment system he has in there, or the Nismo dash could have effected it when installed.

The confusing bit is that it has disappeared in the past - although very briefly before it came back.

when i was doing trimming and the seats were removed from cars (mostly euros, but newer nissans are likely to be similar) and the car was then driven the airbag light would say on. the only way to get it turned off was to have a dealer reset the airbags via a diagnostic style tool. possibly the airbag plug under the seat has been unplugged or has come out??

Mine started flashing tonight and it won't go out :banana:

Wheel is stock, havn't had any collisions or anything.

Did anyone find a solution or a reason for the Airbag light to flash constantly? (comes on solid when you turn ignition on but once the engine is running it flashes).

Try this Stephen... worked for my mates car (although the light just came on again).

Turn the key to the on position and watch the airbag light. It should stay solid for 5-7 secs, and then turn off, and then start to flash.

To reset the light, you must turn the key to on, watch the airbag light stay solid for 5-7 secs and as soon as the airbag light turns off, turn the key to the off position (you have to turn the key to off before the airbag light starts to flash, or you must start over). You need to repeat this 5 times. Try to start the car, and hopefully the light will be reset

I will give that a shot, thanks dude!

I don't know as of yet what the actual error code is for my particular problem. I just tacked it on to this conversation as it referred to M35 issues with the airbag instead of starting a whole new thread.

I've been driving most of the day so I've seen enough of my car for now lol. I will give it a go tomorrow morning though and if it doesn't gel I will take it to Hornsby Nissan and get them to check it out. I want to go and meet the guys and let them know they'll have a new customer for all things nissan (i've still got to get around to getting a new rear sunroof rubber fitted, it's on the back burner for now tho!).

Once again, thanks for the assitance. Even if it doesn't help me on this occasion it's in the thread now so other's might find it if they have airbag issues.

Further to my last email I did end up going for a quick drive afterall, and I tried the suggested method and the light has now gone out.

However, if there is an issue that needs my attention I'm sure it will come back on, that being the case I will go and get Hornsby Nissan to check it out a bit further.

Thanks again :D

need a tool attached to it for a proper idea. common thing is the seat tensioners. also bea in mind that the controller used in those was the same as the local 350z and 02/03 versions had issues with the controllers.

Guys,

My airbag light was flashing and I found the solution on the net and it worked first go on my M35.

Turn the ignition to the "on" position. Watch the airbag light closely(it will be on solid) the split second it goes off(beggining to flash) turn the ignition off, count to 5. Turn back to "on" position and do the same another 2 times.

Next time you turn it to "on" position it will blink really slowly(diagnosing) Then switch off. Next time you turn it on it will be solid and then turn off completely.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
