Airbag light on after charging dead battery backwards

frankiev333 · 03-30-2020, 08:53 AM

2012 nismo ...Ive seen the many threads regarding resetting the airbag light however it didnt work on mine . I accidently put the the battery charger on backwards for an hour or so (stupid stupid stupid) and now the airbag light is on and I cant reset it . I also noticed that the passanger airbag is not comming on when someone is in the seat and also the daytime running lights are not working .
I checked all the fuses and none are blow . Any help greatly appreciated

Did you check the fuses in the IPDM? There are also some fusible links that you may want to check.

I've never done the airbag reset, but going by what I've read on this site, it can take several tries to get it right - timing is critical.

Edit: Location of IPDM and fusible links may be in the Owner's Manual. Will definitely be in the FSM (link in sig).

The IPDM is the big fuse box near the battery. Youll have to remove the battery to get to the fuses or get the IPDM off the mounting bracket.
IIRC, the fusable link controls the Power window motor, VVEL, and horn (?). But definitely check the fuses.
