Air Bag Light

[jam1198]

I have a 2007 Versa SL. I installed new speakers and an amp and during the installation I had to remove and disconnect the front passenger seat. There were three contacts under the seat that were disconnected. After it was reinstalled the passsenger airbag light went on. Is there an easy fix or do I need to bring it back to the dealer?I have tried disconnecting the negative, but it did not work.

nope computer thinks the car got in a wreck. youll be lucky if its just a reprogram, usually you gotta buy new part, Airbag DAIS its called, runs about 500 ish. good job my friend

I just returned from the dealer and he simply reset the computer. Total cost $0. As long as the car is under warranty and no accident occured, my dealer will reset it for free.

There are also posts on this board showing how to do it yourself. Glad your dealer didn't charge, though. Some aren't so nice about it!

there is a very simple way to so this with a sequence of turning the key on and off. it will put the car in diagnostic mode and will clear all codes. and it works great it worked on my car 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.
