370z airbag light blinking & Other issues
 

I know its been posted a ton of times and I don't need instructions on how to reset it. I've reset this thing 30 times now. It just starts blinking and turns the airbag off anytime anyone sits in the passenger seat. Drives me absolutely crazy. Could it be a seat sensor? I've already tried unplugging the cables and plugging them back in. My last resort is a piece of electrical tape. It's gonna happen soon..

I really don't want to get raped at the dealership for it. I was one of the original people with the stearing lock problem. After a month of fighting they replaced it for free but I still had to pay for the labor. Now I see they just recalled it. So I already kinda got screwed for that.

Also,

When I floor it alittle, it says "break"

From what I read that issue was due to having low brake fluid.. It's not low, but I'll top it off and see if it works.

Also

VDC just randomly shuts off when I backup sometimes, and somethings when I'm just driving.

Just seems like one thing after another with this car now.. :( It's time to sell it, but I'd like to get some of the issues resolved before. Great car, but the electrical system on this thing seems to have a ton of issues.

Anyone have any ideas?

same airbag issue, i did ask for it on another post, no one can answer, so im still living with it... hope new post can get answer...:))

I am having the same issue on my 2012 with the airbag light repeatedly going off no matter how many times I reset it. It drove me crazy enough that I made an appointment for next Wednesday to see what is going on. Hopefully I'll get an answer.

Thanks. Let me know :)

The vdc and airbag all work together. If resetting dosent work, take it to the dealership


Last thing u want, is the airbag NOT working when u need it the most

Dropped the car off this morning and just got a call back. They said that the sensor in the bottom part of the passenger seat was bad (I have the leather/alcantara touring package seats). They are going to have to replace the passenger side seat bottom. They have to order the part and said it will take a couple of days. Thank God I am still under warranty, I can just imagine how much they would charge for a seat bottom! Even though I have a 2012, the first buyer didn't purchase till 2/2014, so I'm good till 2/2017 with my warranty. I'll report back after I get the car back and drive it for a few days.

:iagree:

Thanks! I was gonna post tomorrow to find out how it went. Yea I'm out of warranty so it's prob gonna be a arm and a leg. If you can post what it would of costed ;) I always kinda figured that the sensor is just bad. Haha

Just got the car back. Seat bottom cushion had to be special ordered. All seems well so far. If I apply light pressure for a few seconds to the passenger seat bottom, the airbag light illuminates (indicating passenger air bag is off). If I remove the light pressure, 2-3 seconds later the airbag light goes off (indicating that the passenger air bag is on). If it starts acting up, I will report back.

FYI - the passenger seat bottom cushion has a list price of $2,983.12 :eek:
the airbag sensor cannot be purchased separately, so the whole seat bottom cushion assembly must be purchased.
