Air bag lamp flashing in dashboard

[mlaroya]

I just hooked up my stereo system this weekend in my 2000 QX4 and I disconnected my battery as I was doing this, once the install was complete I attached the battery again and now the air bag lamp was flashing on the dashboard. Is there anyway to reset this?

There is a weird procedure. I did it a long time ago but cant remember. Got this from the Armada section, see if it works and post the results

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.
