BAVS83

BAVS83

I'm after buying a Gti but apparently the airbag light has come on. (airbag not deployed or been in crash) Why is this and can this be fixed. More over, is there any safety compromise here? really want this car after I crashed my beloved SRI :(:(:( lol. Regards Bavs83
 
if you buy it take it to your local nissan dealership. they can check the airbag unit and reset the light. i know of a few cars that have airbag lights showing but if it concerns you get it checked, thats all i can reccomend :)
 
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll go see it tuesday and hopefully I'll have myself a GTI. So excited. Like a kid at sweet shop lol.
 
My airbag light was showing when I brought the car, it was the wiring behind the steering wheel that allows the steering wheel to spin without snapping wires that had broken, £10 from the scrappy and the light went off :)
The horn dosen't work also if it is that unit^ thats broken.
 
mine came on as well for absoultultey no reason, got it checked at a nissan garage and turned out to be the wiring behind the drivers side airbag (had to un kink it behind the glove box) that sorted it out..

my best advice is to reset it yourself and see if it stays off.. if it does then happy days, theres a code for resetting it, i'll dig it out for you later on, you dont need diagnostics to turn it off, so it could save you a couple of quid.
 
actually, have a look at this thread.. this was the one i started when it happened!!

heres the code for resetting it..


1. Open driver's door
2. Turn ignition switch from "OFF to "ON"
3. Press driver's door switch at least 5 times within 7 seconds after turning ignition switch "ON".
SRS is now in Diagnosis mode.
4. "AIR BAG" warning lamp operates in diagnosis mode as follows:
1. on (7 sec) off (2 sec) on (3 sec) off (2 sec) on (3 sec)....
Intermittent problem has been detected in the past.
2. on (7 sec) off (2 sec) on (3 sec) off (2 sec) on/off (.5 sec)
system has problem and needs to be repaired.

i followed the procedure, then the light kept flashing in 3 second intervals.. (as opposed to 1 second when it originally came on) tried it again and the light went off..

hope this helps!!!
