2001 V35 Sedan - Cruise Control Issues And That Dreaded Air Bag Light

Hi guys,

Anyone know a good place in Melbourne to address air bag and cruise control issues.

I've had problems for about 2yrs. I know how to reset the air bag light but it always comes back. Before it used to be a few months, now it's probably gone for 1/2 a day.

Regarding the cruise control, if I turn it on, it beeps and the warning light comes on straight away (plus the japanese warning message on the screen). Can't set speed or anything.

I've checked the pedals, read as much about it on G35 and V35 forums, but I'm stuck so I wanna go somewhere that knows this car.

Called Nissan Frankston service dept and they never heard of the car! $130 per hour to diagnose the fault.

Not sure I could trust them to find the issue.

Cheers

One of their mechanics has an M35 Stagea so they should be fine to work on them. Their consult III will give you the codes required to find the faults.

thanks Scotty...do you mean at Frankston they've got someone who knows them? May have just been the guy I got on the phone.

Besides Nissan Frankston, do you know any other places I could go or would you generally recommend a Nissan service dept.

In regards to the airbag light problem, if these are anything like the Toyota Hiluxes then it's just a small spring behind the dash that needs replacing it's a $20 job and a little bit fiddly if you don't know what you're doing. I just know that it's a common problem with Hiluxes so i'm not really sure if that's helped..

The mechanic you spoke to on the phone might not want to work on the car, you will get that a lot with these vehicles lol.

Without reading the code you could chase that light for weeks. Drop down to a Nissan dealer and get them to read the code, then take it from there. Most parts will be available S/H, I have most of them here.

Took it to Nissan, and for a couple of hundred bucks I was told my cruise control laser sensor was reporting a fault - $2000 to replace and fit.

Also told my L) air bag module was faulty - $1950 to replace and fit.

So for almost $4000 I don't think it's worth it.

Any suggestions guys?

Scotty, you mentioned some parts could be obtained S/H? Where would you suggest I start?

The parts quoted were: K8515AL500 (air bag module) and 28437AL5100 (cruise sensor). Thanks

Left airbag module, so the passenger side dash? I have one here but I can't ship it. Where are you located?

Personally I would ditch the cruise and buy an aftermarket one, they can be had for as little as $500. Mine works seamlessly and can be user adjusted, all you lose is the radar part.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
