P12 Primera Airbag Problem

Austin1

Hi All

I drive a 05 Primera and my drivers airbag needs replacing. This is the second time I have had an airbag problem notification come up on my display unit. The first time my mechanic figured out that it was a problem with the wiring under my seat being snagged, and was able to fix that without any problem - that was a year ago.

This time my mechanic says it's a problem with the airbag itself and it needs replacing. He can't do it so I'm on here looking for a recommendation on where to go, preferably in Dublin. I'd prefer to avoid assuming the position to get shafted by a main dealer if possible. But having said that I also don't want to cut corners on safety.

Any ideas?

Is the airbag light continuesly flashing?

If so try this, I done it for a friend a while back.

There is a procedure on the Nissan you can use to reset the light - and it is as follows :

a) Switch OFF the radio & Ignition
(b) Turn Ignition ON (Position II)
(c) The airbag warning light will stay on for 7 seconds and then switch off – as soon as it does
turn OFF the ignition (within 1 second of the light switching off)
(d) Wait at least 5 seconds
(e) Repeat steps (a) to (c) two more times – this is important to make sure it registers with
different modules in the car
(f) Turn ON ignition, wait 2 seconds
(g) Switch OFF Ignition (Position 0) and wait 1 second
(h) Switch ignition back ON.
(i) Airbag light will remain off so long as there are no other faults otherwise it will come on again - and then you should have it diagnosed properly to ensure the system works .

Id advise this as only a temp solution because it could be something serious.
