My airbag light on my 2010 Rogue had been flashing for almost two months. When I took it in for oil change and tire rotation, the mechanic checked it and much to my dismay, he told me that two codes came up that indicated the airbag module was open and to see if it would be covered under the warranty because it's $1,000 to fix it. Nissan's warranty includes the airbags as part of the drive train and my mileage exceeded the warranty. I tried my extended warranty company and they don't cover airbags. I did a little Google search, found this fix, did it 10 mins ago and VOILA!!!! It's fixed!! No more blinking light!! I'm so happy that I had to share! :-D
Just did this with my Nissan Navara and it worked first time. Many thanks, saved me a lot of $$£££ taking it to a Nissan dealer for them to run diagnostics etc.
I watched this video at my mechanic shop...he was asking for $200 to replace airbag sensor......I said Chris I am good now and he said oh shoot... Fixed fixed fixed.....thank you
Thanks, thanks, many thanks, it works. Today is saturday, April 25/2020 I have a Nissan Altima 2002 At first I tried to do it following the instructions, but the keys were not completely removed from the ignition, I did it 5 times and nothing happened. At that I thought and said: I think I have to take the key completely out of the ignition. So I did it again and the light went out. I am now very happy thanks to your video, it works and you saved me a few dollars. Greetings from Falls Church, Virginia USA
Hallelujah! It worked!! Thank you so much! I had to try a few times, the trick is to turn car off when light flashed only once, then count to 5, do 5 times, so happy, thank you!!
Thanks, worked like a charm! I went through and did it twice. The first cycle and the flashing slowed down, so I did another cycle and the flashing stopped.
Well done there Charlie! worked really well on my 2011 T31 X Trail... TOP STUFF to you my friend - TOP STUFF!!! (you just saved me a quote of $75.oo Aus from a Nissan Dealership!)
Why was reason that the airbag light came ON in the first place? I too, have a 2007 Frontier and had low-speed front-end accident. Airbags were not deployed, but the passenger seat belt tensioner deployed. It is an explosive device that tensions the belt, one use only and I replaced the seat belt. Ever since that low-speed front-end accident 4-years ago, the warning light stayed ON.
I would recommend it is better to take the car to your mechanic to do a diagnostic check. After all, you might potentially have problem with the moduel of the airbag and it might not deploy when it should be.
works on the 2003 q45 also. I took the seat apart to fix the seat. and the light popped on. Still have to try to replace the seat motor thats bad. thanks
thank you, I cleaned my car seat and had to take out the seats and unplugged the harnesses underneath the seats, when I put the seats back on and put the harnesses back the airbar light stayed on the dashboard, I was going to bring my car to the dealership but saw your video and decided to try it first and it did work, thanks bro.
This does indeed work. Tried it out myself recently, but after a couple of days it started flashing again. I think this method only works to mask the problem you are having with the airbag. And doesn't actually fix the problem. I think it is best to bring your car to a trusted repair center, and have it looked at by a professional mechanic in my opinion.
It's not a "Fix" because nothing was done to repair the SRS system! This action with the key puts the system into the "Diagnosis mode" and if you do it a second time it's "Clears the codes" that are in the system, so if you take it to a mechanic, be sure the warning light is back to flashing so the mechanic can diagnose the problem and make the necessary repair to put the light out for good!
Charlie Atkins dont worry charlie...these people are the suckers who pay for expensive repairs when they could do it themselves...if there was something really wrong the code wouldnt clear or it would show up again
I mean for me, I had to reset this light because I turned my car on when I had the air bag switch cluster unplugged doing a car stereo install (my car has a key you can use to turn the air bag on or off) so since there is really no issue with my bags this video could come in handy to resolve a problem similar to this situation
spazotis Until you get into an accident and your airbag doesn't deploy because you though putting your airbag module into test mode was a good idea because the flashy light went away. Maybe it is flashing for a reason...ever think of that? So the "sucker" who paid to have his SRS system repaired so that it functions head on collisions you, his brains will remain not splattered all over the dashboard and there will be one less dumbass on the road.
Thanks It briefly worked for a 2008 PONTIAC G6 GT. Mine was tricky. It wasn’t a wait until the light blinks for me. When turning the key the airbag light blinks 5 times constantly. I had to immediately turn the key off after the first blink. My car was involved in a collision so the airbag light keeps coming back on. I’ll have to take it to my mechanic.
A flashing airbag light means an intermittent problem with the SRS system. When you do the trick with your key it just tells the computer : I have resolve the problem, please check if its OK. The computer ( BCM ) will do several test when you will drive the vehicule and if it detect again the problem, the light will come back. ( Most of the time, its some loose connectors or something similar )
@ Dave, On a Nissan/Infiniti vehicles, a Flashing SRS indicator means there is a code stored in the SRS Diagnostic Module, it may or may not be intermittent. The SRS system self test is initiated whenever the key is turned to the ignition on position, the vehicle does not need to be driven. NOTE: The BCM (Body Control Module) controls functions of the body systems- lights, wipers, windows, door locks,etc...
Can confirm it does work! My brain can’t leave it at that though lol. WHY does it work? In my instance, the car lost power for a short time then the light came on when the car was powered again. So I assume the flashing air bag light was a lost communication code (my scanner doesn’t read airbag modules so I didn’t even try). So does this work because the car needs to turn off and on and pass the communication “test” a certain number of times before it moves the lost com code to history instead of active?
I have 2005 Hyundai Elantra that has airbag light on. Clock spring and wire cables are ok. I think I need to fix or replace ECU SRS module? Any advise for best and safe solution. I try to avoid dealer at this time but might visit local airbag specialist shops.
Thanks a lot, worked on my 09 Sentra, just replaced the heater fan, tested the fan with the seat out & the light started blinking, so it was my fault, took about 10-12 tries to turn it off
I know why it started blinking, had the drivers seat out when I was replacing the blower fan, powered the car up before putting the seat back in to check that the new fan was working, that threw the alarm since the car didn't see the drivers seat bag, once I put the seat back the alarm was already there, been a week or so, light stayed off
I have a 2008 Nissan Versa I had a airbag recall and a couple of months after the recall and I picked up my nissan the airbag light started flashing. I called Nissan North America and of course they want help me. so I tried this fix. It will turn off but as soon as I put in reverse and then put into drive to go it comes back on. How can I get this light out. does anyone know why it would go out and then when I put in drive it comes back on ?
This is called "putting the system into diagnosis mode" 1. The air bag light should come ON for about 7 seconds. As soon at the airbag light goes out, turn the ignition switch OFF right away (within 1 second after the SRS light goes OFF). Wait at least 3 seconds and turn the key back ON. Wait for the airbag light to go out and as soon at the airbag light goes out, turn the ignition switch OFF right away again. Wait at least 3 seconds and turn the key back ON. Wait for the airbag light to go out and as soon at the airbag light goes out, turn the ignition switch OFF right away again. Wait at least 3 seconds and turn the key back ON and watch the airbag light flashing codes. 2. If getting a no malfunction detected code in diagnosis mode (airbag light flashing 3 seconds ON and 2 seconds OFF repeating), clear codes by repeating the procedure in step 1. If the airbag control unit detects a malfunction, the airbag light will come ON for 7 seconds and then flash fast (about every 0.5 seconds) indicating a malfunction. You need to go into diagnosis mode to check codes manually. Even if the problem is intermittent and the problem is not there right now, the airbag light will still flash fast until you go into diagnosis mode and check codes.
CHARLIE Atkins...?. Some one gave me a 99 lesabre. I took it to get inspected and it failed for headlights lenses. I fix everything and go back and now there is a dash light . Airbag staying on. It won't pass. Should I junk the car or what. It runs great and even has 4 New tires on it.?.

This video was from 7 years ago didnt think it would actually work but i have a 2010 nissan maxima and this worked perfectly thank youu
You know I've been staring at that flashing airbag light for 3 years. In under a min you helped me fix this issue. Thanks man
WORKED GREAT!!!! On a Nissan Murano and a Rogue for the passenger side air bag light.
Thank you.
Dude I watched other youtube video's and it didn't work. But I watched yours and copied your exact timing, and it worked like a charm!
Just did this with my Nissan Navara and it worked first time. Many thanks, saved me a lot of $$£££ taking it to a Nissan dealer for them to run diagnostics etc.
it worked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
saved me from giving mechanic $300 for replacing sensor in steering column
Thanks a bunch.
Yeah it worked because it resets the system...but I bet after that airbag ran it's self test that light came back...so how was that $300 sensor :D
I watched this video at my mechanic shop...he was asking for $200 to replace airbag sensor......I said Chris I am good now and he said oh shoot... Fixed fixed fixed.....thank you
I have the same year frontier with 105,000 miles and I had the same issue and it’s now fixed man I appreciate you
Thanks, thanks, many thanks, it works.

You have to take the plastic around the stereo off and unplug the passenger air bag light while the key is on the start position then plug it back in
Does a vehicle have to be running when doing this process
Thanks a lot, worked on my 09 Sentra, just replaced the heater fan, tested the fan with the seat out & the light started blinking, so it was my fault, took about 10-12 tries to turn it off
+Dan K its blinking for a reason.... shouldn't you get it checked out rather than making it go away?
I know why it started blinking, had the drivers seat out when I was replacing the blower fan, powered the car up before putting the seat back in to check that the new fan was working, that threw the alarm since the car didn't see the drivers seat bag, once I put the seat back the alarm was already there, been a week or so, light stayed off
Holy crap it worked. thanks a lot man.
Thanks man worked on a 05 Mazda 3

Thanks I did it and worked in my Nissan Altima 2005
Does it work on Mazda 6?
Xise TK: this fix is great. Why the negativity ? Lighten up.
Will this also work on a 2000 Frontier?
To be honest but the look of your dashboard you'll need more than just that to get rid of😂😂😂
I'll try it on my 2005 Nissan Pathfinder, every buyer runs away when they see the lights on thinking i had had an accident, hopefully it works!
THANKS IT WORK ON MY 2007 NISSAN FRONTIER
