[Les000X]

Les Lothringer's Approach to:

- - 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.

this method does not work if the airbag light is continuously on.

If the airbag light is continuously on, this method did work .

What model car do you have?

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.

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.. I was so pissed..

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

And guess what, IT WORKED for my R34..

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