- - Resetting Flashing Airbag Dash Light on Nissan Skyline R34 - -

Refer picture for text description.

I applied this method on installing the Airbag after replacing the Steering Wheel [refer separate post for that procedure].

I have never had an Airbag Indicator Flashing Issue when the battery only has been disconnected, even for a few days.

If this procedure does not work for you, do let me know.

an r33, but i've tried it on a 34 with the same problem, flashing and continuously onseems to donate different problems.

its the same method to fix a flashing airbag light as described in an r33,

for an airbag light thats permanently on, i don't know what the fix is, no error comes up on a consult scan. :/

OK - Why not give me a call & we'll talk about it.

tomorrow maybe, - when its light outside. On my car, its been in an accident, (before i owned it) not sure if the airbag went off or not, if it did, then its been replaced. Either the computer won't recognize the new airbag, or its not been plugged back in correctly/ wiring problem.

i wanted to go poking round and look for the cause but i'm too afraid of accidentally setting off the airbag.

this is for an R33.

The method I described is for an R34. You have an R33.

I have seen a method, described for an R33 and claimed to work on an R34 - it did not.

Each model has a unique method. Some are just plain ridiculous.

Re setting off the airbag - I will eventually put up a post describing how I disarmed and removed the airbag - to replace an R34 steering wheel.

I note differing opinions on the safe handling of airbags, a mechanic friend of mine will not touch them, but panelbeaters replace them regularly.

_____________________________

In my case, I disconnected the battery and did other things for 20 minutes - a delay of 2 minutes is sometimes suggested; I left it longer.

Then, from the side of the steering wheel, I removed one of the two access panels and disconnected the airbag plug.

And now the inevitable disclaimer mate:

Consider an experienced professional to effect the repair work for you instead.

I had an after market steering wheel in my Non-turbo Manual R34. Even though they hooked up a fuse to the airbag connectors to get rid of the Airbag light, it was still on. I replaced the steering wheel with a automatic R34 steering wheel. Even if i connected the Airbag it still flashed. I read all the threads before this to get rid of the light. Instead of pressing the switch on the door i was keep pressing the driver side light switch on the top next to the rear viewing mirror..worship.gif I was so pissed..

Thank god i saw this thread.. Tried it asap..

And guess what, IT WORKED for my R34..thumbsup.gif

Thanks a lot mate.. So frckn love you.. NO HOMO.. thanks.gif

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
