To start off, I have a 2013 Altima coupe. The car is rebuilt and i know the dealership is going to charge an arm and a leg so i wanted to fix the issue myself. I came from a Pontiac Grand Am, which was giving me too many problems due to age and im not too familiar with my new car. So far im loving the car, but am having a issue with the SRS light. I was able to locate the service manual for this vehicle on this website, but its unclear if it should be looking at the 2012 version or 2013 because it seems Nissan upgraded the altima to a new generation. I believe i should be looking at the 2012 service manual because it seems to match up the vehicle.
I have followed the reset procedure and successfully turned off the light, but it usually comes back within a day. Following the service manual, i put the car in diagnostic mode and read the flashes the car for giving. The first time i received
I then followed the reset procedure and the light went out for about a day. It came back on and i put it into diagnostic mode and then received this flash sequence
I followed the reset procedure again and i received this message again
I did it once more and then received
Based on this information, do you believe the issue is the RH pretensioner? it seems to be a intermittent malfunction, but i think it possibly need to be replaced. I have not taken off the panel for the seat belt yet to check the pre-tensioner because i wanted opinions before i do so. I appreciate any help i can get.
