"Air Bag" light blinking, 95 Maxima

Jan 22, 2005 4 Replies

Dear Group:



For no apparent reason, the "Air Bag" LED starts blinking on the dash when the car is running (91K miles). Does that mean a trip to dealer ($$$) to repair it?



Thanks for advice.

My '95 did that a couple of years ago, and my first thought was $$$ too!

I cleared the alarm and everything was fine. From page BF-63, Trouble Diagnoses - Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) of Maxima Service Manual:

"Within 7 seconds after ignition key is turned "ON", press the driver's door switch at least five times."

It took me several tries to get the five presses done in time, but it solved the problem.

Thank you very much for the advice, Roby.
