- - 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.

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:

This describes my approach. If you choose to follow it and screw it up following this approach, remember - at all times, it's your fault. If you choose to follow it and get a different outcome, that's because you need to know more than what is described here. No responsibility for errors or ommissions. 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

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
