I pretty much followed the advice of everyone here except one person and failing to do that bit me in the you know what! I forget who said it but heed the advice of re-connecting the airbag indicator before testing the head unit. Of course I neglected to do that and I ended up with the flashing AIR BAG icon on the dash. I drove it that evening and it didn't seem to affect anything but it is very annoying. If you are like me during the install you probably had/have wires everywhere. Rather than install the head unit in the dash and repalce the dash trim just so I could connect the air bag switch I opted to test my head unit on my lap. Reconnecting the air bag switch is awkward as there isn't much wiggle room.
Anyway the reason for this post is to tell you how to turn that iritating light off. The procedure below worked for me. Youn might have to do it a couple or three times befor eyou get the timing right. I would like to take credit for it but it was taken from another website.

****IIMPORTANT****
Turn the ignition off as soon as the airbag light goes out the first time.


If you have the airbag light blinking here is how to reset it:

1. Push the start button two times (Ignition on but engine not started).

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off INSTANTLY.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.


i got the airbag light after LED light install and the method did work, but if people sit on pass seat, it will happen again. and then i reset it, and people seat on and it happen again,,, do you guys have any ideas....?

Wow...perfect. Nissan wanted to charge me $155 to do this today. So glad I tried this first!

Thanks!

Hello! So I tried this method, now it just blinks randomly, fast and slow. I guess it's stuck at diagnostic mode?

It work for me. The first cycle it just slowed the blinking and then I did it again and it stopped blinking.

So I repeated first step 3 times, it started blinking randomly l, slow and fast. Then I did it again, nothing happened. Now it's just randomly blinking.

Did you start the car immediately after you completed the last cycle?

No. You mean after the diagnostic cycle?

Yes, when you finish the cycle after the second time then right before it blinks again start the car. I would say try resetting the ecu if it doesn't work when you start your engine and then do it again.

There is a short YouTube video demonstrating the process.
