airbag350z Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 I realise this topic has been discussed on many threads and many people have provided a great amount of detail and I thank them for that, I have read and tried to digest most of it. My car had front left hand side impact (airbag deployed) previous to my purchase and thus after repair the light remains constantly on. After reading the thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=49776&p=725581&hilit=airbag+light#p725581 I understand crash data is stored on the airbag module within the centre console and I may need to remove this and send it off clearing and resetting. My question is what else do I need to check / do (impact sensors etc..) before I get the module reset? So that when the reset module goes back it is not sent the same errors again? Note: Seatbelt tensioneris are ok. (pulls out and retracts again) Any help is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tprice Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 i would check everything has been plugged in again first, bodyshops are notorious for missing small details like that out, i see it on a daily basis! or a trapped wire where it hasnt been routed correctly. not saying its 100% that, but you need to rule it out first. have a quick visual under the seats too, see if the occupancy detector has been plugged back in. what fault code is stored, does it come up with a specfic airbag, or side?

airbag350z Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 tprice, Many thanks for your reply, i will have a look under the seats to check the occupancy sensors. As for the fault code? Found this link regarding codes: http://forums.nicoclub.com/350z-diagnos ... 82298.html Will this give me a fault code? Will i need to find someone with a specific scan tool? Apologies for the Q's car technical knowledge is not a strong point. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airbag350z Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 It looks like it's time to remove the module and send it off to be reset. I understand the module is located under the centre console (behind the handbrake) does anyone know or has seen a guide in accessing the area i need to get to? Any help greatly appreciated.
