Reset a Flashing Airbag Light - Nissan Frontier (2005)

[@ratbagley]

I looked up this tutorial at the grocery store and tried it. I was exactly synced up with you the very first time, even the beeps were overlapping haha. As soon as you started the car I started mine and it was gone. Well done

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Sweet deal! Glad it worked for you.

[@Estuardo106]

I did the same hahaha thanks for the video I've seen it more than 15 times it turned off and on again because the spring clock was bad it fixed it and I followed your steps again hahaha

[@GuyHaughwout]

Holy cow. I worked. Thank you, now I have to let my wife ride along.

[@TheBrokenBolt]

You’re welcome - I think 🤔 😜 … I hope!

[@ChuckE-y2f]

WOW I can’t believe it was that simple light has been on for years worked exactly as advertised. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Glad it worked. You’re welcome

[@jif.6821]

I have a first Gen D22 2003 Frontier, and discovered this morning my airbag light flashing. I followed your instructions, but with little hope it would work on an earlier model. I have to report that it worked perfectly the very first try try. Thank you very, very much! 😁👍

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Awesome. I don’t know it would work on that Gen. that’s awesome!

[@drcrompton]

Worked like a charm. Started to blink when I replaced the radio and disconnected the passenger air bag light.

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Glad it worked!

Glad it worked for you. I found it buried in a years old forum somewhere. Just passing it on :)

[@ginastreva9803]

OMG thank you so so so so much!! This light has been driving me crazy for years!!!

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Good deal. Glad it helped! I was pretty glad to get rid of mine as well.

[@dylandavis4074]

Another thank you here. Installed a new head unit and the airbag light started flashing. Followed these steps and it's off now. Thanks! 2007 Frontier 4x4 crew cab.

Haha. I’m glad it worked. I didn’t make it work this way. Just discovered where someone else had shared it in a forum and put it here for frustrated people like me. Glad it works for you :)

[@scotsmanofnewengland7713]

I had that problem with a 2010 Subaru Impreza 2.5i and found a link on KZbin that said to disconnect the both battery cables and then touch both cables together for at least 20 seconds. Well guess what it worked and that saved me some money for not bringing it to a dealer or repair shop.

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Nice! It seems there’s always a built in work around … I have never heard of that one. But awesome!

[@jeffn647]

Thank you sir! This worked on my 2005 Nissan Quest! The airbag warning came on after I disconnected, then reconnected the wiring harness plugs on the instrument pod.

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Glad it worked out. Had no idea it worked on a quest

[@karenkeim1064]

Thank you!!! I had taken my dash apart and the airbag started blinking . This worked !!

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Awesome. Similar for me, had taken something apart and got stuck with a flashing light. Glad it worked

[@BlackNGoldRules]

Just had this happen to me. Did what you said and now it's gone. Thank you! I wonder what would make it do that?

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Glad it helped. A bunch of things can cause it. Some serious that need to be looked at related to an airbag that isn’t functioning properly but some are due to disconnecting wires as part of other work etc. If the error reappears you know you have an actual problem. In my case it came on because I had disconnected a wiring harness under my seat as part of another repair

[@2livemylifenow]

Thak you works great for the 2017 Nissan Frontier.

Awesome! Glad it helped out.

[@nicholasd5847]

Thanks for the video! Cleared my light the second time lol I also had the check engine lights saying 02 sensors/cats. P0420/0430 are secondary codes caused by p1800 code, Vias solenoid up top by charcoal canister/intake could be the main cause. Cheap scanners won't pull the p1800 code. Try changing the Vias solenoid before changing 02 sensor or cats.

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Cool. Thank you. I’ll have a look at that!

[@nicholasd5847]

@@TheBrokenBolt Again that was my issue, may not be the same, but I struggled and found out the hard way cheap scanners aren't worth it lol

If you have a 98-01 Nissan frontier turn your ignition on and before seven seconds is up Push your door button 5 times its located at the bottom left of the door frame on your driver side that make your interior light come on and off when you open the door. The airbag light will then start to blink slower three seconds on two seconds off. wait seven seconds and turn the ignition off and then when you turn it back on it should go off and stay off. It worked for my 98 Nissan frontier there’s also instructions on the Internet if Mine aren’t clear enough. I tried what this guy said in this video and it did not work so hopefully my comment will help somebody out with the generation that I have which is the first. Gen

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Hope it helps some first gen owners

[@ChristianPerez-xd8zq]

Worked for my 2006 Nissan frontier but came back on after a few days!

[@TheBrokenBolt]

Likely means you have a problem in the system that needs to be looked at then. That’s the original reason I wanted to turn mine off to see if I had caused the problem in a recent (unrelated) repair or if there was a problem. If mine had come back on (it didn’t) then I would know I needed to get it looked at. I wish you the best as you root out whatever the issue is.

[@josebarahonalopez907]

I tried amd it worked. Now should I be concerned about something being wrong with the air bag system??? 😅

[@TheBrokenBolt]

@@josebarahonalopez907 glad it worked. I’m told that sometimes this will come on after something has been unhooked … installing something new etc … in terms of expert advice I’m not the guy to offer that … but in my case when I reset the one on my truck nothing was wrong with the system and it stayed off. I reset one on my pathfinder a while back and it came back on in a few minutes of driving - read the code and there was something that needed fixed and so we did … not sure if that personal experience helps or not but now you know. If you’re worried about it find a mechanic that you trust (trust is a key word) and seek their advice. I’m just a random dude on the internet that figured out how to cycle a key and make a light go away 😂

[@josebarahonalopez907]

@TheBrokenBolt The video was a great help. THANK YOU. Mine came one day due to me pushing the sit back a bit hard. I did disconnect the cable under the seat and connected it again. But still was on. I'm hopeful that that was the main cause of it. But yeah, if it does come back, I'm definitely taking to the car doc. Once again, thank you for the video.

[@TheBrokenBolt]

@@josebarahonalopez907 no worries. The best guess of this random dude on the internet is the seat going back hard disrupted the connection somehow and tripped the light … enjoy the truck. I know I love mine …
