I just got the car for two days from a dealership. the guy says that its in there but I cant tell you for sure if its in there because i dont know how to check the airbag. at first the light was a solid light but ever since he tried to fix the light with the airbag cpu it started blinking. thanx for your help

is there a way to check if the airbag is there first? Cuz that guy couldve been shady and took out the airbag because airbag could be sold for alot of money. and another thing you think you could help me out with the radio? only the rear speakers work and the front don't I checked the amps in back under the rear speakers and all the wires look ok but i haven't checked the back of the fron speakers yet

When I first got my 240 I had the same problem with the airbag light. It was always lit up, but when I ordered a new CPU it went off... So it seems like yours should have gone off if it was done right. I would see if you could get another place just to check it out... And for your speakers it sounds like one of the amps might have blown out

Have you checked the SRS fuse?

IT MEANS DUCK!!!!!!!!!!


Nah, but it's basically telling you that there is something worth noting with your airbag system. As mentioned before it has either been taken out or has been deployed and you just don't know about it.

I, personally, would take it to a Nissan dealership and let them look at it. If you still have your airbag and it is primed and ready to fire, then you are good and it's just a problem with your ECU. If that's the case, then while you're there, you can have Nissan "reset" your ECU for a very small fee.

It could also be the SRS fuse, although my 240sx doesn't come with airbags so I wouldn't know whether it's a batt fuse located at the kick panel or a mech fuse located under the hood. My Cavalier has airbags and it has a fuse labled "Air Bag" under the hood, if that's pulled then the Air Bags won't deploy ever and the light will remain on. Also, there is an "Air Bag" fuse in the kick panel which essentially does the same thing, but it's just accessable from inside the vehicle.


I hope that helps.


Take Care,
-Dave

Go back to that dealer and MAKE him fix it.

Here in california, a DEALER cannot sell a car with a faulty air bag system.

A airbag light means your airbag WONT work! Check the laws. If applicable, go after his ***.
