Quick airbag related question....
Quick airbag related question....
My 08 rogue was recently involved in an accident... the passenger and driver seat belts were not buckled but the airbags deployed along with the seatbelt pre-tensioners... does anyone know if the buckles need to be replaced in this situation?...I have no idea how this system works.. Thanks
Re: Quick airbag related question....
Since the buckle was not used but the pretensioners were activated, you must replace the pretensioners but should have all hardware (including buckle) inspected to make sure there's no concerns.
If you and the passenger were belted and the accident was severe enough, you'll definitely want to replace EVERY part including the bolts, height adjuster, buckle, etc.
From the owner's manual:
The pretensioner, retractor and webbing comes as a complete assembly. Hardware including mounting, height adjuster and buckle are separate pieces.
Are the repairs going to be done at a collision center or dealer and is this covered by insurance?
If so, they should take care of it.

From the owner's manual:
2008 Rogue for reference, in case you're curious on the part breakdown:All seat belt assemblies, including retractors and attaching hardware, should be inspected after any collision by a NISSAN dealer. NISSAN recommends that all seat belt assemblies in use during a collision be replaced unless the collision was minor and the belts show no damage and continue to operate properly. Seat belt assemblies not in use during a collision should also be inspected and replaced if either damage or improper operation is noted.
The pretensioners cannot be reused after activation. They must be replaced together with the retractor
and buckle as a unit.

Re: Quick airbag related question....
Im paying for this out of pocket and doing all the work myself so I won't be taking it in ...I guess I just really need to know what triggers these buckles to go bad?...does something inside of it deploy when the airbags are triggered?... or could possibly too much force trigger these to deploy?... because if thats the case considering it wasn't latched it should be good..
Re: Quick airbag related question....
The buckle has no "deployment" squibs .. it is a mechanical "latch" with a slide switch.
If it was unbuckled at the time of the accident, the buckle itself was not exposed to any belt tension. I would confirm that it still latches correctly and that the buckle switch works after you've completed your repairs.
Next time, please be buckled when driving, it's designed to keep you safer.

Re: Quick airbag related question....
Hey, I am in the same boat as you.
Right now I am looking for the same help, we can help each other.
I have the Entire Rogue service manual I can send to you to help you out. Shoot me a PM and I will email it over to you if you want.
For my vehicle, drive airbag; passenger airbag deployed, LH and RH front seat belts got locked.
After reading the manual. I replaced the driver airbag, passenger airbag, front G sensor (impact sensor) the one next to the hood latch, both front seat belts, steering wheel clockpring, and reset the airbag module (cleared crash codes).
The part that I am stuck on is do I need to replace the safing sensors (satellite sensors) as well? Curtain airbags are still good as well as the seats. I currently have $1200 into airbag restraint parts, once I install the reset airbag module, then plug in the battery, does anyone know if I will blow airbags or will it be safe to go inside the vehicle to run a diagnosis to clear the airbag icon on the dash? (Maybe invest in a football helmet before I go into the vehicle)

Check out SRC-17 (Page 17) of the service manual, it might*, don't quote me on it, may need to be replaced

Re: Quick airbag related question....
UPDATE...
I just hooked the battery back up to the vehicle, and started right up, no airbags deployed after replacing them all. I currently have a blinking airbag icon in the dash, not sure what the code(s) are but I am hoping it is just a reset, since the module has been reset. Anyone know if there is a ignition reset step by step or OBD2 reset must be done?
thank you
