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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
