Hi guys,

Is there somewhere I can find the airbag fault codes? I put my car into diagnosis mode and received the following:

1 long flash followed by 2 quick flashes.

Symptoms:

Airbag light flashes during normal driving/key in the 'on' position. Doesn't seem to affect anything but wouldn't mind it gone. Previous owner states its due to the V35 steering wheel controls that are mounted. Steering wheel controls don't work with the standard single din unit.

I've looked everywhere for the codes but can't seem to find it.

Additionally, what is the consensus of swapping over to the double din unit? I've seen the BOSE units are pretty crappy.. Suggestions?

Cheers,

Sean

Hi Sean

There's another thread (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Airbag-Light-t254024.html) on the forum which talks about airbag light issues. If yours is an intermittent fault or maybe something not too serious, you may be able to reset the alarm by following the key on/off sequence that is described.

I'm not sure why Stagea's seem to suffer from this problem so much. Maybe they have more of this SRS gear installed than other cars.... I've got a flashing warning light the same as you but all my other airbag equipped cars (with many more years and kms under their belts) have never had a problem.

Anyway, the common culprits are the "clock spring" in the steering wheel, seat pretensioners and the airbag module itself. Chris on this forum is the resident expert on these but he's in Brisbane so pretty hard to just drop over from Canberra.

You could try getting the actual codes read by someone with the diagnostic tool (local Nissan dealer or most good mechanic workshops) and they may also be able to reset them. Knowing the codes may lead you closer to the solution.

A few owners have found they've needed to buy new seats. I'm hoping that's not required in either of our cases.

Have a (longish) read thru the other thread and see where it leads. Good luck with the new baby on the way. :)

Yes, a quick search will bring up the fault code list

No need to take it to Nissan to reset the codes.

I'm looking for the airbag fault codes, but the link above doesn't work anymore. I can clear the fault fine, but it comes back every couple of days

I wouldn't bother with the manual method, mine was exactly the same. Once I got it on the consult 3 it never came back.

I wish someone closer had one. I would love to try it on my airbag light also. Plus it would be handy other times also

How much is the consult 3? does it give you info if it's a proper failure (ie descriptive text instead of a code number?

Of course, that is what Nissan use for full diagnostics on all the ecu's.

You are looking at 15k or so for a Nissan Consult3, or $300 for a Chinese knockoff.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
