Yet another problem - AIR BAG light is blinking

[JuanAntonio]

My air bag light is now blinking. Is this something serious? It happpen once before and the dealer indicated that it was moduler on the drive seat and it willl cost $700.00 to replace.

give this a try

1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

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 turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, 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.

This happened on my 06. To fix it they replaced the "clock spring" in the steering wheel hub.

Is you G still under warranty? You don't mention if this is your 2004 or the 2007.

The problem is with my 2004 G35. And no it is not under warranty. Only the 2007 is under warranty.

just fry, if your dealer finds it to be a computer problem, and they try to sell u the whole airbag controller, u can have those reprogrammed for a fraction of the cost... might not be ur problem but.. keep in mind.
