Hi, I tried the 6-7 times door switch trick but it's not working for my car. My airbag light stays on, it doesn't blink. Someone have a solution except changing the airbag module ?
I want to the dealer and on his systeme (the yellow computer) they don't see the airbag on my car like if I hadn't any ....

Yes I just checked and they're well plugged . I retried the door switch tip but the light still on.
Someone has a solution ? (except removing the bulb )

Hey, I just bought a 200sx se a couple of weeks ago and I love it (I still miss the 240sx I used to have though). the airbag light had been blinking since I bought it and it had really started to get annoying. I tried the reset thru the door ajar switch and it worked. thank you so much for posting that! This is my first post as I just registered a few minutes ago. These forums are great...so where do i go to post letting everyone know about what my car is and what not? Sorry for asking stupid questions, but i am new so I don't know my way around yet.
The Airbag light on my 96 Sentra has been blinking for about a year now, I was going to take it to the dealer (81$) just to run the codes and they told me it could cost a lot more if something serious was wrong, well I did the door ajar trick and the first time it made the light blink very slow, then next time it went away! so now I can get my car inspected!
ok wow , this trick is amazing ! I am such a looser that I ran outside in my robe and slippers to try this :dumbass: right here ! it took me a couple trys but I got it , now when I start the car the light stays on for a few seconds and then stays off is there any way to keep the light off ? will a state inspection be able to prove that I have reset something instead of fixing it and charge me some thru the roof price to fix it ?
well thanks for the tip , really ... original , who ever figured this out rocks !!!
thanks

it's supposed to initially go on for a few seconds to tell you there's an SRS airbag, then it turns off, just like cars with ABS have the light go on for a few seconds.
So long as the light isn't flashing like it was before, the state inspection won't even consider it to be a problem. You have, in a sense, repaired whatever the problem was by resetting the computer, so there is no issue and, no, they won't be able to see if it was reset before being that there's no other way to interface with that computer and it won't remember the previous problem anymore.

Appeciate any help I can get.

Ok, was reading the forum today and found this...
"got this off 240sx.org I had the same problem with my 96 pickup It started blinking right after a tuneup and this fixed. The dealer said it was a bad control module($600) con artist
Air Bag Light Blinks
The check Air Bag light in the console of my '95 has been flashing for almost 8mos. Is there a way to reset or disconnect it?

I had the same problem when I first got my car, about 25k miles, it turned out to be a bad air bad sensor or something like that, fully under warranty though.
To reset this light....
Open driver door
Get in
Shut door
Turn ignition to the on position The one that will go all the way, but not to start car)
Open door
Reach down with your right hand if your a rightty
Press the door ajar sensor button thing (7) times
Shut door
Start your car.....
Takes practice to nail it right though. Any problems, just ask me...

I was actually AMAZED it worked on my 1996 Sentra GXE which has had the blinking airbag light since 2000 (dumbfounded the darn thing didn't burn out since then!). My wife is a witness and was flabbergasted as well... just an update for that post since I'm a new poster!

finally i dont have that stupid light blinking anymore
hey, think it would be a good idea to make this thread a sticky? or at least a thread with these instructions a sticky? it seems to pop up every few weeks or so on its own anyway...
