Blinking airbag light

[dsmith]

Hi,

I took the Versa (now with 55,000 miles on it) to the Splashes car wash. But when I drove away, the airbag light started flashing. Has been flashing ever since. What is wrong and is it an easy fix?

Thanks

Try this:

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.

If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.

Thanks. I tried all that but looked under the seats and turns out the front passenger seat was unplugged.
