I'm finding I'm having to reset the Air bag light every 3-4 weeks. Is this usually a symptom of a faulty connector or something more serious? I presume if a module is faulty, it would throw a code straight away.

I somehow got the airbag light into a diagnostic mode and it flashed once and then ten times and repeats. I couldn't find any reference to this code anywhere. Anybody know what this code refers to?

Thanks

Get it on a Consult 3 unit, that way you can get a description of the fault. I think the seat switch contacts play up occasionally. These can be shorted I think, my aftermarket rails came with a plug in module, but it showed zero resistance when i measured across the pair of wires.

Does yours have 4 yellow wires in the plug under the seat, or only two? Some have an anti dive ram in the seat, some don't.

I couldn't clear mine manually using the procedure you used, my airbag light flashed for many years before I bought the consult3, that cleared it instantly and it has never come back.

Purchased Nissan Datascan and an adaptor and read the codes. (works well with the 300GT)

Came up with a B1166 which I gather to be LH side (passenger) floor harness or seat belt pretensioner.

So what are the chances that its just a bad connector?

Thanks

Ive had the flashing light for a week now. Did both man resets several times the most they last is a day. Took it Michael at Revolution electronics and he ran a scan. It detected a fault with the "clock spring" at the base or the main airbag. A new one costs $200 from Nissan and is on order.

I was curious if anyone else has experienced this? I cant see too many here that have it.I had issues with my drivers seat 4 months ago but the scan found nothing there ) maybe that triggered it. Michael says seat belt pretensioner/ clock springs are common with cars this age. Mines a late 05.

Mechanics are good at lines like that to stop you questioning them.. clock springs aren't a big issue in general for all cars. my J30 maxima was 18 years old when it died and it never had clock spring problems. and plenty of 10+ year old cars with seatbelt pre-tensioners that aren't having issues either.

I know the seat base harness is a common source of SRS faults on the V35.

Hi Scott- I saw the scanner code detected was the one for clock spring so I have to go with that. Mine is series 2- 11/2005. I dont know if you can rely on an airbag component being second hand ?.other than door looks been brilliant for the 7yrs I ve had it.Is it something anyone can install or safer bet to leave to expert?

Thanks

Well so much for that- plugged in my old seat belt buckle (broken clip) and did another manual reset and the Airbag light is gone..Now its in to Nissan & Nissan Only - now what are the chances of getting my $75 back for the scan...did i hear whistles..

Were you being sarcastic?. As I said it doesnt look like the clock spring after all- because plugging in my broken old buckle & doing a reset cleared the airbag warning light!.

Maybe its a temp thing but I will hold off & just replace my buckle from nissan $77.00

For the clock spring Nissan quoted $198 ex gst. Did someone take $100 to fit it

no i was charged 315 dollars from northside nissan for just the part , a mate fitted it , from my experience the clock spring is main issue for flashing light, once the spring is replaced youll have to do the reset process, if your steering wheel has been removed in the past ,then the spring would be high on my list of possible faults

I could do a clock spring from an 80,000k Stagea for $100. As I said, I have never had to replace one, and I have had my steering wheel off countless times, as well as customer cars in for cruise control installs etc.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
