Angry Help AirBag Light Won't Turn Off!

So I've tried the method stated in the sticky which is follows.
AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AFTER CAR AUDIO INSTALL

****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've tired this multiple times and it is not working for me. I checked to make sure all my wires are pluged in under the seat and they are. I have a 2009 370z Nismo. Is there a different method to reset the airbag light for a nismo? If anyone has a video of them resetting it or any other suggestions on how to turn it off I would really appreciate it.

Did you make sure the airbag light on the dash is plugged in?

Take a deep breath, and try again. It took me a few tries to get it right...

I mean I got the light to change over to the user diagnostics mode where the light blinks in a different pattern. I then turn the car off again, count 5 seconds, turn it back on and the light is still blinking. Do I have to actually turn the car on in the last step or just the ignition to the on position? because i have tried both ways.

no, you do not start the car, just button to the on position.
If you got it to diagnostic mode your very close.

What else do I need to do if I got it to diagnostics mode? Once I got it to that point I turned it off for 5 seconds then turned it back on. Lights still there and blinking.

You may have a legitimate fault that's causing the light to stay on. When did it come on? Have you recently installed/uninstalled anything car audio related?

Yeah I recently installed a new head unit. I took my passenger seat out to put the head unit in, and install my sub. I've check to make sure the wires are reconnected under the seat as well.

Did you end up getting this fixed?
I'm going through the same thing after installing racing seats (driver and passenger sides).
I connected 4.7ohm resistors for both seats and used the stock weight sensor for the passenger seat too.
I did the reset procedure and the airbag light on the dash does blink at a slower pace but would not disappear..

Help anyone?
