Seabee Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Hey guys wondering if anyone knows the answer to this my zed has lately had a fault with the airbag light coming on all the time, I would normally just reset it but I think this is a different problem, the DTC flashing code I get in diagnostic mode is two long flashes followed by 6 short ones. Looking in the manual it points to the crash zone sensor, I can see where it goes on 2002-2006 cars but my 2007 just doesn't have one under the bonnet latch. Any info on where to look would be awesome cheers Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 I think Zmanalex will be here shortly saying that there isn't one like he told you before in your other thread Quote
Seabee Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Yes but it must have a sensor somewhere to know its had a crash!!!! com on I'm desperate lol Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Did you check under the passenger seat? Have you managed to clean the contact cleaner off the connections you sprayed before? Why wire in a resistor when you don't need one? Unless your airbags were removed? Quote
OsakaBen Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Ok, I'm a bit clueless, like Seabee. How does the zed know if you hit a lampost and it needs to deploy the airbags? There's must be something that tells the airbags to deploy? If its not a crash sensor....is it magic? Quote
cs2000 Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 :headhurt: haha I knew this was coming. But to be fair I did wonder the same thing, as in, how does the airbags know when to fire? Quote
Seabee Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Phew at one point I thought I was going insane! Yes I've sprayed with contact cleaner tried like 100 times and still a light. I hope someone will shine some light on this lol Quote
leonk Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 The box in the centre console has a deceleration and inertia sensor in it that triggers the airbags. They do however have seperate side impact sensors located in the b posts. 1 Quote
Seabee Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 Awesome! Leon that was all that I was looking for and you answers it! I now I need to get my car looked at with someone and a computer anyone know any places around Cardiff or is it best I go to Nissan? Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 Don't go to Nissan unless you drive a Micra or unless they actually sell Zeds and know their way around one. Quote
Seabee Posted June 3, 2013 Author Posted June 3, 2013 They deffinetly sell zeds and gt-r's hmmm I'll ask for an upfront price I guess Quote
AliveBoy Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 They deffinetly sell zeds and gt-r's hmmm I'll ask for an upfront price I guess With a dealer an upfront price will be a "quotation for listed work" or something similar. If they so much as fart inside your cars work bay they will charge you for it. Quote
M13KYF Posted June 4, 2013 Posted June 4, 2013 check the loom in the back of the seat. You may have a broken wire that is triggering the fault. I had this and a bit of soldering is all it takes to fix it Quote

Seabee Posted June 4, 2013 Author Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks for the info I have checked all over both seats, also removed both plugs at separate times and got different flash codes, used contact cleaner I really don't think this is the seats this time around lol Quote
