nah only 2 wires scotty.

i bet they did the resistor trick

$200 sounds expensive for the resistor trick.... Didn't work on mine when I tried tho. I still have to try the airbag module that you sent me Iain; fingers crossed.

need to try this...sick of having my airbag light on and potentially carking it...

It does sound expensive. But it does work. I've got a resistor on my drivers side, and the module on the passenger side. It definitely works though - no illuminated lights over here :)

That's great it worked for you, and I was hoping for the same result but no such luck. My resistors cost $0 - the lady at Jaycar just gave them to me, so I had nothing to lose.

It is well worth a try for anyone with the cursed flashing light.....

What was the resistance you used Dunc?

Theyre unfortunately heat shrunk/boxed in - it was fitted before I bought the car. I'll see if I can remember to take it apart in a couple of weeks when I get back to Australia and let you know

need the seat replaced. already done one in a PM35. there is a airbag ram in the base of the seat and the explosive device has died.

its nothing to do with the diagnostic routine you guys are doing and in fact it renders half the system useless when in fault mode. not the sort of thing you want when you smack something at speed.

if i could be of anyhelp if these codes im from nz and am a auto electrician and have had a few of these through it isnt the seat itself that fails unless the part is missing by pass the plug as there is high resistance in the plug by pass it under the seat and hey presto no more problems

THREAD REVIVAL

So I was driving the other day, 100kmh and then ......... the dreaded srs light illuminated, thank god its still under dealer 3 month warranty. I have it booked in tomorrow for diagnosis as I dont want to work on the car if I have warranty, will let you know what they find.

Ok, They found a pin backed out on a connector under the passenger seat and the code was "circuit in passenger seat module", 650kms so far and light hasn't come back on. But I am skeptical that has fixed the fault and think the light will come back on as soon as I am out of warranty haha.......Thoughts?

i rekon youll be fine

if they pushed the pin back into the plug, it shouldnt come out again unless for any reason its removed.........

First they just reset the code and couldn't get the light to come back on, on road test. Then they put a passenger in it and roadtested (joyride maybe?pinch.gif ) and then got the light to come back on.

Fingers crossed

sounds like a loose connection

there are plugs under the seats, one above the glovebox (there is a fold down partition in the top) and the plug behind the steering wheel

i rekon one is loose or dirty. also in the middle of the car is the SRS unit. check all the plugs. youll need to remove the centre console to get to it.

Ok, so this might be coincidence but I think I've had a win with my airbag light. It has been flashing for about two weeks since I went to the Sakura picnic. I tried the reset procedure a few times but with no success, then this morning after my daughter complained she had no room for her legs I tilted the seat forward a touch. After I had dropped her off I started the car and airbag light gone! Now I remember at the picnic laying the seat fully back to have a kip in the afternoon and I'm pretty sure the light started when I left. I see a lot of talk about the problem being with the airbag seat rams? Am I on to something here or did I just get lucky? When was the last time you put your seat through it's full range of motion? Might be worth a try.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
