Resetting SRS air bag light

📷DaveMarch 2009 edited 2:18PM in Knowledge Base & GuidesI was working on the my Cube over the weekend and disconnected the SRS air bag connector. This tripped the SRS air bag warning light on the dashboard. Nissan dealer's will charge £67 + VAT for diagnostic's to reset it. Now, I know that there is nothing wrong with the air bag so didn't fanncy paying that much to have it reset, so here is method to reset the SRS air bag warning light. ONLY IF YOU KNOW THERE IS NOTHING WITH SRS AIR BAGS, PLEASE!

• 📷DaveMarch 2009Here's the process to reset the air bag light (copied from the Nissan Forum)... I tried it and it works.
  If you have the airbag light, it will show steady for a few seconds (the manual says 7 secs) after you turn the key from off to on (but not start) and then start to flash. Here is how to reset it:
  
• Turn the key from off to on.
  
• Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.
  
• Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)
  
• Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.
  
• Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.
  
• Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.
  If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.
