So i got my airbag light to stop blinking as well but my SES is on now. Im hoping its something that will just go away after relearning the cycle after a few days or something but is this something common?

I dont have any other mods....just installed my double din head unit, rear backup cam and satellite radio.

Westwood, did you solve this issue???

I have another problem tho, not sure if it related but I have a 6 speed mt, and my rev sync don't work....this all happened after I took the car apart to install the by pass and An after market sub and amp to the existing Bose system...

Anyone else had this issue?

I pretty much followed the advice of everyone here except one person and failing to do that bit me in the you know what! I forget who said it but heed the advice of re-connecting the airbag indicator before testing the head unit. Of course I neglected to do that and I ended up with the flashing AIR BAG icon on the dash. I drove it that evening and it didn't seem to affect anything but it is very annoying. If you are like me during the install you probably had/have wires everywhere. Rather than install the head unit in the dash and repalce the dash trim just so I could connect the air bag switch I opted to test my head unit on my lap. Reconnecting the air bag switch is awkward as there isn't much wiggle room.
Anyway the reason for this post is to tell you how to turn that iritating light off. The procedure below worked for me. Youn might have to do it a couple or three times befor eyou get the timing right. I would like to take credit for it but it was taken from another website.

****IIMPORTANT****
Turn the ignition off as soon as the airbag light goes out the first time.


If you have the airbag light blinking here is how to reset it:

1. Push the start button two times (Ignition on but engine not started).

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.

If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.


Awesome!!!!! this works! Thanks!

Mine started blinking after we installed meth injection and this fixed it! Thank you!

Super helpful, mine came on after my boost/oil pressure gauge install in the cubby and my light came on

You're a saviour! My mechanic had no idea how to reset the light. I followed your steps once i got home and it worked beautifully!
Thanks again!

airbag light back on after a year.
 
Hey guys I had my airbag light turn on about a year after I installed my NRG carbon fiber seats. I placed the weight sensor underneath my seat instead of in between the cushion and the seats. I later removed my passenger seat for weight saving and just left the weight sensor on the floor. Well I let my brother sit in the passenger side floor because he wanted to se what it would feel like without a seat. He sat on the wires and weight sensor in the process so that could be one reason why my light came back on. OR it could be that a drop of water got into the 4.7ohm resistor on the driver side, since it rained last night and the wires wire visible when I opened the door.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is be a lot more careful than I am with these sensitive wires and sensors. Luckily no damage was done to the weight sensor. I have no idea what that part would have cost me. All I did was put in new resistors (on both sides) and reset the airbags. Worked fine with all chimes. OH! And If anyone is need of these resistors just PM me and I can send a few out to you. I bought a pack of about 100 and they're just kinda sitting in a drawer somewhere. Would like to help anyone in need of these little suckers. Haha
