I have a 2002 x-terra SE v6 4wd auto. the light started to do the same thing as yours, here's what i did to get into the dignastic mode:
1. Turn the key to "ON" (do not start)
2. Watch the airbag light. It will be on steady for few seconds and as soon as it blink OFF , turn the key OFF instantly (before it ever started to blink)
3. wait for 5 to 7 seconds (real seconds)
4. repeat steps 1 to 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 the diagnostic mode. The light will flash a pattern of 3 seconds ON, then a series of 1/2 seconds flashes, then 3 seconds on again, ......
6. Count the number of 1/2 seconds flashes, it describes the malfunctioning part.
2= driver's airbag module, module is in the airbag.
6= 4wd crash sensor, in front radiator, below ext. ambiant temperature sensor.
7= airbag computer
8= passenger airbag module

DO NOT FORGET TO DISCONNECT BOTH BATTERY TERMINAL AND WAIT 3 MINUTES FOR COMPLETE DRAINAGE BEFORE SERVICING ANY "SRS" COMPONENT.

Mine ad a code 6, crash sensor
They sometime goes faulty do to road salt. Mine ad salt that entered true a silicone gap and affected the circuit board.
Bought a new one today at the dealer for $87 canadian dollars.
It seems that my airbag light doesnt blink at all. Anyway, took it to the dealler, charged me 25 euro. The problem was that the car i bought was after crash in the right side, and crash data was stored.

Thanks for reply.

Default Feedback Air bag light reset

My light came on after I replaced the bulbs in the climate control module on my 2002 Frontier (had to disconnect the passenger air bag switch on the cover panel). This procedure worked the first time. GREAT. Thanks

Default Airbag Problem Fixed!

I have a 2000 Nissan Maxima GLE, I did exactly what Nickoli said, and it worked the first time! I took the car to 3 car places and they all told me to take it to the dealer because I had a serious problem... But I KNEW it was only blinking because I had some work done on my floors and the passenger seat was taken out and disconnected... never had an airbag issue before... thanks so much!

Default Airbag Light

Ok guys,I have a 2005 nissan Armada LE, I recently went to the dealer on 5 April 2010 they said the light(airbag) was due to a faulty passenger seat back airbag and they wanted $2000.00 to fix it...lmao.... They reset it and it came back on 8 April 2010. Now, my question is if I keep doing that trick with waiting 5 seconds and the light going off due to the self reset, if I get into an accident will all the other airbags still go off? Oh I purchased the car used from a repot lot and got a great deal so I have no idea on the original reason the light went off..The car still has all the factory radio and everything.

Thumbs up GREAT!

I just drove two hours in my mom's 02 Altima with that dang light flashing in my face. Read the fix, ran down the hotel stairs to the car and it really worked! I thought it was going to be the Clockspring (Spiral Cord) like on my mother-in-law Tacoma I looked at earlier today. I'll have a better trip home now.

Thanks a billion!!

Mel33,
Did you do the procedure yourself to find the error code?
If not, you should. Then let us know what came out of it.

WOW, you just saved me a trip to the dealer and a bag of money! Nick your procedure to get rid of the "flashing air bag light" worked like a charm. I just rewired my 2010 Frontier for an after market complete stereo and had "the" problem. NOT NO MORE!!! Thank you very much!!!!!

I will do a write up on it so stay tuned!

Since some of you guys here are new owners I thought I'd save you a trip to the dealer once you start modifing your armada's. I'm not sure what set's it off (other than pulling things apart) but at some point you will likely end up with a flashing airbag sensor light. Here is how to reset it yourself.

1. Turn the key from off to on.

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.

Default Wow- tiworked

Thanks SO much.
My 05 Murano was doing the same thing.
Dealer wanted $95 to do a diagnostic.

The airbags will still work, correct?

I took the passenger seat out of my 05 Pathfinder LE and the airbag blinked. Just tried the procedure to reset it and it worked perfectly! Thanks!

Default airbag light magic!

I just used Nikoli's trick to reset the airbag light - it worked! How amazing is that? I just bought my 2010 Sentra last week and drove off the lot with this problem, and this trick saved me a trip to the service center. Thanks so much for your help! :)
