Problem with my Infiniti QX56

[TomasQX]

Hello,I have a problem with my QX56. After starting, still "supplemental air bag warning light" flashes on the dashboard and light does not extinguish.VDC and SLIP light still shines. After the start, I hold the button VDC, the indicator is off, but after about 5 seconds again turns VDC. And then I can not ON VDC. How does tire pressure gauges? One wheel says 0 PSI.I am from Czech republic, here is this car unknown.Thank you for your advice.Tomas

I want to ask, you can watch the film on the front display when the car is stopped? There just wrote that there "DVD", but the picture was just on the back of the disply.Year of manufacture 2005thTomas

VDC and SLIP is OK now.

But Air bag light is shining and I don´t know why?

Hello,switch ON-OFF-DOOR is destroyed, you know where can I get? Is that a problem with these models?

Sorry to hear that you're having all of these issues. Did you buy a total loss reconstruction or something? Air bag lights are typically on because some component of the air bag system has failed. If it is a reconstructed total loss, they may not have replaced the air bags at all. If the car came from the US, you may be able to do some trouble shooting workflows outlined in the FSM which you can find here:

As for watching movies on the front LCD screen, I don't think the 2005 models had that capability. You can add a device such as TVandNav2go or AVElectronic to allow you to do this. You may need a video signal amplifier to go with it if you are planning to use the existing rear DVD player. Not sure why one tire says 0 psi (assuming you checked and made sure all your tires have pressure). I'm thinking TPMS sensors that aren't relaying info the computer would just display Asterisks (*).

As for obtaining parts, you would be best off determining where the car was originally sold and look for online vendors that ship internationally. I'm not sure the QX56 was ever released officially outside of north america.

In Europe, this car has never imported. Is an individual imports from the USA.Car isn´t crashed.All airbags are OK. I think that the fault is a sensor for air bags.Car have about 45000 mil. Where can I buy a switch ON-OFF-DOOR?Thanks.Tomas

Car isn´t crashed.

How are you certain? Car's can be fixed quote well. I've seen many cars whose airbags have been deployed have the air bags stuffed back in and sealed up. There is a reason insurance adjusters will cut the bag open and write the claim information on the airbag when they inspect a vehicle with a deployed airbag. Its not always difficult to spot evidence of accidents, but you have to know what you are looking for.

That isn't to say that the car was involved in an accident. Just be weary of making assumptions without knowing for certain.

All airbags are OK. I think that the fault is a sensor for air bags.

It may be. It could be any number of things. Check to see what the Service Manual I linked you to says. If that is above your head, you may need to take it to a mechanic. And I highly recommend not working on your air bag system unless you know what you are doing. If you happen to be in the path of a deploying airbag, it can seriously injure or kill you.

You can check with some of our sponsors to see if they can ship internationally.

If not, then you can search google for Infiniti parts and try to find a vendor who does.

Thanks.I would like to know what diagnostic socket to use to connect to the car with my computer. Then I could find a bad sensor. Can I order something from the U.S.?Tomas

[C-Kwik]

I would think a OBDII sensor would be the one you are looking for. But I'm not entirely sure the ABS error codes show up there or not. Is there no self-test feature you can use? I do know that you can reset the air bag light using the key to the car, but I can't recall if that starts any self-diagnostic feature or not. The FSM should detail it for you.

[TomasQX]

Thank you for your reply. I will try to find the OBDII diagnostics.I would still like to know where I buy switch ON-DOOR-OFF?

[C-Kwik]

I would still like to know where I buy switch ON-DOOR-OFF?

As I pointed out before, some of our sponsors might have it. You'll have to do some of your own legwork. You can also try googling for Nissan parts dealer. And any Dealer should be able to get it. The issue might be whether or not they ship internationally.

Hello,I buy diagnostic connector OBD II. I would advise what the diagnostic program I use for the airbag? I have Nissan Data Scan II, but unfortunately this program is unable to diagnose the bag: (.Thank you Tomas
