Disabling airbag light on 98 I30T?

[I30T]

So I apparently need a new air bag harness, but i need to pass inspection before i will be able to foot the $250+ bill for that part. I guess this is a two-part question,

A) Can my car pass inspection with the air bag light blinking constantly (when the car is running)?

B) Is there a way to stop the light from blinking, and would that do the job? Or does that information show up when they hook up the computer diagnostic tool to the port to the bottom left of the steering wheel?

Thanks!

i had the same problem! I just pulled out the dash, opened it up, and broke the little light! No more problem!

The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS, air bag) is a safety item and tampering with it could be illegal. You could also have problem with your insurance company if you're involved in an accident and they found out you have an inoperative SRS.

Disabling the SRS is illegal...however the part in question here is simply a module that tells the computer that the airbag hasn't been deployed. It has no affect on whether or not the airbag deploys. If the airbag light is blinking the air bag will still deploy.

Personally I hope to never get in an accident in my car because I hate airbags. I really think they are cheap alternative to safety. Real safety is a 5 point harness and a roll-cage.

no, the fact that the light is blinking means that the system has been deactivated. It detected a faulty wiring in the harness and then shut the system off to prevent accidental deployment. It costs $280 + labor to replace the damn piece that has malfunctioned. I'm not tampering with the system at all, I want to know if there is anything that indicates the SRS error other than the flashing AIR BAG dash light.

Where do you live that the part costs $280? I went down to my local Infiniti dealership and they gave me a price of $600. Could this be including labor? Because I asked for just the part price.
