hey all i have a 99 i30t with 112000 kilometers on it so i think thats like 65000 or so miles and all of a sudden my airbag light starts flashing i have no clue whats wrong, and i took it to the infiniti dealer today and they said they charge $145 just to diagnose the problem and then we go from there and i think thats insane, by the bay my clock has gone blank i think its blone cuz the connecor is fine adn secure so where can i get a new/used clock also dealer charges $230 for this part

 

I've had this problem a few times. I know you can get to the diagnostics mode by pressing the driver-side door trigger 5 times within 10 seconds once you put the key in the on position. You'll be able to get the trouble code that way, but I can't remember where i got the code representation from. Do this first, check underneath both front seats and see if the wires are crimped or bent in anyway and jiggle them around alitte. This is the leading cause for false air bag lights on the A32s; I also had this issue. Anything dealing with the air bags will have either yellow loom, tape, or connectors (industry standard). hope that helps.

 

thanks alot im going to try that today i didnt quite catch you on that door trigger thing and diagnostic code u lost me there but i will check the wires underneath the seat also anyone know where i can get a clock? for a decent price?

 

$145???? thats insane........if you look back a few posts i had (have) this same problem but my dealer told me the problem for free..i drove in there they hooked up there diagnostic tool and in about 2 minutes told me it was a problem with the passenger side side impact airbag. about 99.9% chances it was a bad connector and they could get me a new one for about $200 i think. there is a TSB on this and had my car been under warrenty it woulda been done for free. but take a look back to that thread it was most helpful.

Also anyone know a way to clear this code? without an OBD II scanner?

thanks

also this is a long shot but check a fuse if there is one for the airbags

 

just turn key on hit the door button 5 times within 7 sec (black button located on the door sill) sequence will flash turn ignition off and then back on and then repeat
this should do it unless there is a real problem (like with mine)
