Airbag and seatbelt flashing ?

[mikemann01]

Everything else is great except for the flashing seatbelt and airbag -driving me crazy-I did try the key on door switch thing several times but no good - is there something else - maybe i did it wrong or is something in need of repair ? Thanks to all on the ecm issue alot of trouble for some loose grounds , Now im loving this car .

Maybe try disconnecting the battery overnight see if that resets it???

If not, maybe put a piece of tape over it to cover it for now .

Hi Lino , with as many times as I had the ecm out and battery disc. I know that dont work , thought about the tape thing only because its bright red at night but I really would like to fix it and as you seen in my other post NO STEALERSHIP VISITS for me !!!!

I know what you mean. Hang in there. Hopefully, some other members will be able to offer some other advice.

Thats all I have left to fix then its on to rim/tires and tint - looking at as many pics of gold or beige Q's to see what rims look good.

If that's all that left for you to do then you're in great shape .

Yah could be worse.

I was able to use the procedure below to reset the flashing Air Bag light in a 99 I30. The same procedure applies to Y33. But in my case, it only worked with both front doors open. Unfortunately, the problem came back after a month and it won't reset anymore. So I'm taking it to my mechanic this Friday. He has a scanner for ECU/ABS/BCM/SRS. We'll see...

-Open driver's side door and locate the Door Switch (close to the bottom of the door frame)
-Turn Ignition to ON and then press Door Switch for 5 times or more within 7seconds.
-Turn Ignition Switch to OFF then back to ON and press DS 5 times or more within 7 seconds.
-Turn Ignition OFF for at least 1 second, back to ON and then start the car.
-Repeat steps above as necessary until the Air Bag light resets. If the problem persisted, there is a hard fault stored in the control module that only the dealership or properly equipped shops can fix.

You can also refer to the diagnostic procedure in the FSM, starting on page RS-27.
