Ok so i had to remove my steering wheel, and when i put it back on (and connected the connectors that go to the airbag). I get a flashing airbag light. I'm sure my airbags fine (or at least i hope it is). I seem to remember there wasa way to reset the airbag, but since i don't have my chiltons manual anymore and my harddrive with the Maxima manual on it crashed i'm clueless... So anyone know how you reset your airbag?

 

stickies 12 char

 

just did this fri. turn car on do not start! push the drivers side door pin 7 time within 10 seconds-------now it is reset!!

 

i just did the reset with the door pin a few days ago... and the light came back.

 

then somethings wrong with it. do you have seat airbags ? my 99 has them and a common problem seems to be the pass seat airbag. the airbag light may not even be related to you taking the wheel off.

 

mine came on when i took out the pass seat...i gotta reset it still....

 

Disconnect the battery before you disconnect anyting on the SRS system.
That will avoid it throwing a code.

 

something is wrong you need to find out what

 

i had the negative disconnected but then when i was doen i re-read the FSM and is says to disconnect both...oh well justt gotta reset it

 

well i got it into diagnostic mode...what would the code 0102 mean?

 

what is the drivers side pin?...where is it?..can u help me!!!!

 

wow the reset method worked. Didnt know about it and my beater was a blinking air bag light.

at a stop light, turned off the car, and tried it. Worked! cool, stuff

black pin close to hinge. its black and rubbery. hard 2 miss and not much in the area, u should find it quick

 

ive tried a few times and mine just wont reset.....

 

it didnt work the first time I tried it but I was again at a stop light and in a rush.


Get in the car.
Turn the key to the "On" position
push the button on the door 7-8 complete times, this mean all the way in and all the way out within 10 seconds. You should see the Air bag light go off.

If you are positive you have performed it properly with no flaws then maybe there is another problem that is causing the light to stay on.

 

I have the same problem but my light doesn't flash. The resetting method doesn't work for me.

 

I am new and the FSM is golden and all that but could someone explain to me what effect disconnecting the negative AND positive terminals on the battery will have? Why not just the negative? Safty?
