OsakaBen Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Well, my airbag light is on. This has gone from an annoyance to a full blown show stopper since the new MOT regulations state this is now a fail. Unfortunately, a simple reset will not work as its not a flashing - it's a constant light. I've done some research and it seems under the central console there is a SRS unit that logs certain incidents and malfunctions which throws the light. Plugging a normal OBD reader into the car shows no faults. I've checked all connections under both seats and the only issue seems to be a white plug disconnected near the front of the passenger seat. Is this normal? On the driver seat it's connected but I thought it was the tilt function that the passenger seat doesn't have. I can send the SRS away and have it reset (either by nissan or a 3rd party.) But I must fix the problem first, and I won't know if I have fixed it until its reset.....it's a @*!# situation If the srs unit itself is bad....that's £1500 gone. Help Zedders!!

ChrisB Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Surely this one is a either for a reclaim box or advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 There shouldn't be a plug disconnected, have you found somewhere to plug it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Y so srs? Sorry but check all the plugs and then all the fuses etc. See if there is any break in wires. Next thing is get yourself to a specialist or someone with consult maybe? See if they can trace the fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlh Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm new to this forum but have been a Z owner since 2005. My comments relate to US-spec cars, but your car is probably similar. A steady AIR BAG light can indicate one of several faults: a. Deployed Air bag b. Deployed seat belt tensioner c. Sensor unit malfunction d. Power supply circuit malfunction e. Warning light circuit malfunction If you have a Service Manual you can review the wiring diagrams and check the circuits. As for the disconnected plug under the passenger seat, how may pin slots does it have and how many are actually in use?

Sly@Kaizer Motor Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Normal OBD reader will not read faults for SRS system. Have it checked by a specialist who can read past and present faults on the Airbags, before replacing any expensive parts. If you are lucky it's only need some wiring repair.
