Reset Flashing Supplement Air Bag Warning Light
Is this flashing for you?
http://repairpal.com/images/managed/...ts/SRS_Red.jpg Hoping to save others some time..Didn't see any other threads on this.. This worked on my 2009 G37S 6MT Repeat the following steps 3 or 4 times.
Voila! However, if your light continues to blink or maintains solidly lit, then you might want to see your dealer or diagnose further.. My case was the following: The other day I was running some wiring and left one of the related harnesses unplugged and had turned back on the power which caused the supplemental air bag warning light to start flashing. Very annoying. I found about six ways to "fix" this online ranging from random things with the doors, starting the engine in a certain sequence, removing the negative terminal cable ..etc ...but the steps I listed above are the only ones that actually reset it for me.

thank you worked perfect for me!

Just needed to use this also and it worked like a gem! Thanks!

Hooray! I have been looking at that airbag light for a very long time since I removed my front seats to clean the carpet ages ago. It's been on ever since then and is amazingly annoying. I just saw this thread for the first time and was able to use the instructions to get it to turn off. Thanks a million. :biggthumpup:
However the instructions could use a little bit of clarification. I found them at the link provided in the first post and they are a little more specific about a couple things that I think makes a difference. 1. Turn the ignition from off to on (it is not necessary to start the car, keep your foot off of the clutch or brake) You'll need to press the start button twice quickly in succession to do this. 2. Watch the airbag light closely with your finger on the start button. It will stay on for a few seconds. As soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), immediately press the button to turn off the ignition. Turning it off immediately after it goes dark and before the first flash is important. 3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .) 4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times. 5. Now on the 4th cycle, turn the ignition on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, much slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry. 6. 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 not, wait about one minute and then begin the procedure all over again try it again until it does work. Now in the stickies. |
I wrapped my steering wheel bezel in the carbon fiber wrap and am having a heck of a time resetting my airbag light. I have achieved the "slower" blink status but I can't get it to stop blinking... I go through the steps again and then it goes back to the rapid blinking,,, go through them again and get back to the slower blinking again but still can't get past that.
Any suggestions?? Thanks!! |

Any suggestions?? Thanks!! When do you get the "rapid" blinking? Do you get it in the diagnostic mode? The above method will only work for cars after all functional airbags and sensors have been reattached and no further problem is detected. |
Thanks for the reply. I know the one time I just let it blink slowly for a while, it later started blinking fast again. I just assumed I waited too long...so the next time I got it to blink slow again, I didn't wait as long. First I tried starting it and then it stayed in the slow blink while it was running. I also tried just turning it on (no start) after I achieved 'slow blink'again. Waited a few seconds again and then turn it off and then back on again only for it to blink fast again.
What is diagnostic mode? I thought that was the slow blink mode. :) |
The procedure described above places the SRS system into Diagnostic Mode. It allows you to read diagnostic data from the module without the need for OBD reader. If there is no more error, the diagnostic light would slowly flash continuously. It will not change to fast blinking. At that point, once you turn off the car, the old codes are erased and the light turns off.
While in diagnostic mode, if it blinks slowly at first, then blinks fast, there is still a problem that the SRS module is detecting. You should count the number of slow blinks, then the number of fast blinks, then the number of slow blinks again. Report those numbers and I can tell you what's wrong. |
Thanks again!!!
Ok...I got it to blink slow again. It blinked very slow 2 times, then fast 2 times, then slow two times and then fast again. Let me know if I need to keep track longer and if so, I will record it next time to make sure I keep track. I appreciate you taking the time to help. I even contemplated disconnecting the battery again and removing the airbag again...reinstalling and then hooking the battery back up the next morning to see if that would help. There shouldn't be anything wrong with my airbag..?? |
According to that pattern, it's a problem with the driver side airbag. You said you removed the steering wheel t wrap it, did you damage the harness while removing the steering wheel? When you plugged in the airbag harness, did you press in the black clips?
|
I was definitely careful removing the airbag. Didn't pull the wires too hard and unclipped the fairly easily. I can only hope I didn't push them back in hard enough?
Do you think I should remove it again and make sure those plugs are in all the way ? |
Definitely need to make sure the airbag is connected. You can reset it as many times as you want, it wont work unless you fix the connection.
|
Ok it seemed connected but I did notice that two little guide prongs on one of the black clips must have broken off. Even though it seemed the yellow and orange plugs were all the way in and even though those plastic clips area not conductive, could that be sensed by the airbag module ?
Pics coming |
Those plastic clips are extremely important. All airbag module connectors have a metal bridge. The two pin on the airbags are short circuited by the bridge to prevent accidental deployment due to static electricity. The black clips push the bridge apart and breaks the circuit. Without them, the srs module is seeing a short circuit.

Thank you SO much!! Looks like I am ordering a couple of those puppies!! Looking at where they plug in, that makes perfect sense. You are the man!!

Any idea where I can find those little black clips or a part number? Just called one stealership and despite 4 times trying to explain them and offering to send a photo, they were just ignorant and said they don't sell those.
Ahhhh! |
Found them here!! - p/n 1612119-1 squib connector

mine reset but came on again. does anyone know if it Blink slow 1 time and fast 2 time means?
|
This reset technique just helped me today 4 years after the OP. Much appreciated!
I triggered the blinking airbag light after I was replacing the satellite radio antenna and had a bunch of radio connectors unhooked in the process. BTW, I didn't have to go through the fast blink/slow blink thing, I just did the ignition on/off thing 4 times, then started the car and the light went out. Quick and easy. Many thanks!! |
It worked

Works on 2012 g37x?
Hate to be oddly specific, but can anyone confirm this method works on a 2012 g37x? I've tried it many times and the flash doesn't go away. I can get diagnostic mode, but it doesn't reset. Being that it started when my battery went bad (just got it replaced), I don't think it's an actual airbag issue. But who knows?

Worked perfectly! Thanks!
|
Worked for me, thanks!
|
Worked like a charm! Stealership wanted $125 to do the same thing!

I tried and it seems work for couple of hours then comes back... It happened after ecm and Tcm update from dealer service on transmission. The dealer ask me to do another 130diag fee to figure it out since they are not related. Wtf.! It just came after service wow. Should I claim consumers affairs?
|
Thanks worked just fine for me.

Black Betty, Thank you for the SRS Airbag Light Reset directions!!!!:NEWBEE:

And like another person stated, now I don't know if it's really an airbag issue......or not. My gut instinct tells me it's highly unlikely, but hey, what do I know. :confused2: In the event I missed something, if anyone knows if the battery drain is what causes the airbag light to continuously flash, I'd love to know. My extended warranty literally expired 2 months ago, (Hence the problems I'm suddenly having....2 dead batteries within 2 days, & now the airbag light. Par for the course) I'll be damned if I am going to take it in to Austin Infiniti & pay hundreds of dollars only to be told it was most likely due to the battery (but they don't know why or how to prevent it from happening again), & all they had to do was perform a simple reset. Or better yet, replace a fuse. Lord knows I could buy enough fuses to last multiple lifetimes for what the "stealership"would charge me. :biggthumpup: 🤚🙌✋ High five to the member who referred to the dealership as stealership. Freaking awesome. LOVE IT! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...57c4b50e10.jpg Dreaded flashing airbag light........ |
@beckb
I think everyone on this thread including you and me is experiencing this issue: https://www.myg37.com/forums/body-in...ode-b1015.html It doesn't look good! I'm hoping my service contract/3rd party warranty will cover this as they did my catalytic converters |
You can use the $15 enhanced diagnostic addon to OBDFusion to read and clear the SRS (aka airbag) module:

I just bought 2010 infiiniti and I am getting one long blink followed by five quick blinks in a rythmic pattern. what does that mean Modme?
