I had my '96 for about 2 weeks when the air bag light came on. They reset it, then it happened again about 2 months later. They replaced some control unit. That worked great for about 6 months - 1 year, and it happened again.
I'd have them reset it if I was in for service. Otherwise I'd just let it go, because it was happening way too often. After 70,000 I let it go for another 70,000. Had it reset and it hasn't gone back on for 20,000. Just keep my fingers crossed.
There must be some kind of defect in their architecture or something cause I've heard of too many instances of this happening.
Don't know exactly what you can do about it, but there should be something that Nissan should do for you. Just passing along my 2 cents.
