DIY: [How-To:] Racing Seat airbag light fix

Djraunch · 03-27-2018, 12:13 PM

Thanks for the suggestion! I didn’t know it was that easy. I originally connected it back up thinking it would throw an error if the harness wasn’t plugged in

If so just disconnect it and the light should go away

Just installed my racing seats with the resistor fix, airbag360 emulator then did the airbag light fix and good to go. Thanks all.

Good afternoon.

And I tried this with my 370z, I put 4.7ohm 1 / 2w resistors and the passenger presence sensor, the error does not appear for a while, but at the same time the airbag light flashes again.

When making a diagnosis with ecutek, I only get failure in the passenger airbag.

I have the original belt support installed only on the passenger, the driver does not have the OEM anchor.

Do you know what can happen?

Can somebody help me?

Now what would be really slick would be to put the resistor on a switch into the seat sensor circuit. You could enable/disable the airbag at will. You could even drop the switch into the blank 3 (assuming you have the blanks to begin with)

Anyone try the passenger airbag sensor in a fixed Bride seat? Wondering if the pad would fit fine under the cushions... Thanks in advance.

Just find someone who's parting out a wrecked Z and buy the pigtails. Always a few up on Facebook or if you're not in FB, car-part.com has a hundred or so wrecked Z's from all over the country.

I just did the resistor add for the Recaro that I just installed. I had to cut the plug off my stock seat (but I didn't care). I did the airbag reset and it worked perfectly.

Flashing Airbag Light After HU Install

ISO: SEAT AIRBAG CONNECTORS

I spent the morning calling all the junkyards within a hour of my house and not a single 370Z at any of them. I checked ebay, Amazon, Google Marketplace all without success. I even tried finding the OEM Nismo Airbag Bypass product without success. I posted on Facebook marketplace a week ago without success as well. I have the resistors and weight sensor bypass, however these little yellow plugs are impossible to find. Does anybody know where I can find them or have some for sale? I will pay good money for them, I just need to find them.

The FSM will have the plug specs listed. There is a generic connector type given. You should be able to find a supplier online.
