airbag light
hi, im new to this forum. my mom owns a 98 infiniti i30. recently her airbag light came on and started flashing. i was wonder if there is a way to clear it or find out why its on w/o taking it to the dealer.
i own an audi a4 and we can check/clear codes with a vagtool. its a wire that connects to the obd plug and then you run the program on the computer and it tells you the codes.
im sure there is something like this for maximas/i30s. can someone please help me on this, id really appreciate it.
thanx

This is the procedure for resetting the dashboard Air Bag warning light.
This information came from the '99 Maxima factory service manual.
Open the driver's door. Note the rubber covered button, a button which is
pressed by the door when the door is closed. This is the Driver's Door
Switch (DDS).
Turn the ignition from OFF to ON. Press the DDS at least 5 times within 7
seconds after turning the ignition switch ON. Turn the ignition OFF.
Close the driver's door. Start the engine.
Possible causes for this warning light to go on include...
- a fault with the Air Bag.
- abnormally low voltage in the electrical system due to a weak battery.
- a maladjusted door striker plate such that the door does not close properly,
and the DDS is jiggled on and off constantly as you drive.
If this reset procedure is not successful, or if the warning light returns,
there is a SRS system fault which should be handled by your dealer.
