I hope I posted this in the right section but I'm having a slight issue with my car & my wovi inspection, I got a call from them today to tell me that its all good there is no issue with the numbers & the repairs :) the only thing that we can pick is.... your airbag light on your cluster is not coming on like it should!! its should come on for 8seconds then turn off, gee I guess they check more then I thought.

Anyway I've tried searching but I can't find anyone with the same problem or issue I've got. The problem I'm having is it's not coming on at all, I removed the cluster when I got home only to find that there was no light/globe in their at all. So I removed the interior globe from the cluster & put it into the airbag spot to test that it is working however the fault remains & the light still won't come on. I've checked the fuse which was fine but I decided to replace it with a new one anyway, I've also disconnected the battery & re-connected but it still won't work.

When I brought the car their was an after market momo steering wheel on it which I guess is why it was removed, I have replaced it with a standard steering wheel & just recently had the clock spring replaced as the horn wasn't working also to pass the safety inspection.

The horn is now working as it should, but I'm not sure about the airbag other then crashing the car to find out lol.

Does anyone know or have any ideas what the problem maybe or how I can get this fixed without having to take it to Nissan, I'm knew to QLD & I don't know any auto electricians that won't charge the earth like the one I had to repair the horn...

I live near Brisbane so if anyone knows someone that they have used & can possibly recommend, it will be greatly welcomed :) all I want to do is get rego on my car so I can finally take it for a cruise & not just to & from inspections!!

i just wrecked a s2 r33 so have abs computer, clock spring, airbags and all sorts of spares. Try a scan tool id possible first but if u need spares let me know.

Did everything go back together as it should once you replaced the clock spring? Did the repalcement have the same letter on it as the one you repalced? They can vary and they are coded by a letter.

Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Chris for taking the time to drop round & scan my car today, I'm still a little in the dark lol however we were able to sort of narrow it down a bit. Will be definitely joining SAU QLD once I'm finally back on the road :) this site is worth its weight in gold. thanks again

its not in the airbag electronics we both know that. I suspect a bad connection on the cluster myself.

if I get a bit more time we can look further. today was scan the car and see what pops up.

Ok after some digging I've come across a photo, now comparing to the back of mine I don't have a wire running from the airbag terminal. I'm suspecting this maybe my issue.

If someone could confirm that there should be a wire connected & if they could let me know where it should be going too as the picture I have, doesn't seem to show the whole of the back of the cluster. Dam I don't seem to be able to upload the picture not sure what I'm doing wrong, anyway there is a wire connected on the back of the cluster to the airbag terminal but I can't see where it is connected to

I seem to have found out what I'm missing from my cluster, the part I'm looking for is the black connector for airbag globe that connects into the back of the instrument cluster, there as two wires that connect into the back of the globe which are also missing. If anyone has one spare that there not using & maybe want to sell or could possibly lend me so I can pass this inspection let me know otherwise I guess I will try & source one from Nissan, thanks in advance.

Thats some good news if you can help me out Chris, more the happy to drop it to you when your available. I could bring it out to any afternoon or evening just let me know when you might have sometime. I'm really hoping to get back to the inspection place this week & finally get it sorted.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
