Airbag sensor light blinking

I have a 2006 Xterra with the airbag sensor light blinking. This car has been a problem a month after I bought it. Does anyone knows what it could be? My airbag light is blinking.  I've already tried the trick where you start and stop 3 times, throwing it in to a diagnostic mode.  It stays off for a day or two, but then comes back on.
Is my only choice to take it to a dealer??

Good luck and safe driving..

The procedure is as follows:

1. Turn key to the ON position. Wait until the airbag light turns off then immediately turn the key to the off position.

2. Wait 5 Seconds

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 two more times

4. Turn key on and wait until the air bag light starts to flash slowly

5. Wait 10 seconds

6. Turn off the car

7. Turns it back on and the air bag light should now longer be flashing.

Take it to an independent specialist mechanic to get the codes read and a suggested plan of action

The main thing to remember when messing around with the air bags is that it doesn't take much to set them off. I ave seen them inflate just by unplugging and pluging them back in. I suggest the dealer as your safest bet.

Sounds like your mechanic installed something per your request. Unfortunately, you have to order the specific part for your vehicle or the light will stay on because the vehicle computer is not detecting a secong airbag.

SOURCE: My airbag light just came on.

Airbag light came on for me shortly after buying it... apparently a bad censor but came on again shortly afterwards... Apparently the car is known to have a bad sensor somewhere for the airbags.

If the check engine light stays on it has something to do w/ your fuel line... be it anywhere from the cap all the way to the tip of your exhaust. When it FLASHES there's something MAJORLY wrong, like mine likes to misfire lately....

I believe there was a recall on the headlight wires and safteybelt sensor?

SOURCE: driver's airbag light on 2007 PT Cruiser convertable

The first code is for "driver seat track position sensor low". The module detects that the sensor input is less than or equal to 0.3 mA. The second code is referring to the first code. I have no idea what the third code is. Basically you have two different communication systems mixed. The 2001 uses the PCI bus system and the 2007 uses the CAN bus which is much faster. The first code is a CAN bus code and the second is a PCI code. As far as the airbag deploying in the event of a collision, I don't believe it will with an active code in the system. I hope this helps.

Disable airbag airbagmodulhave a 2006 lincoln towncar,passenger seat has been removed,airbag light now stays on,how do i bypass the seat occupancy sensor

Its a weight sensitive sensor, so you would probably have to come up with some sort of resistor. I doubt you can bypass it.

Air bag light is blinking

Guys! Are you readying your airbag system after messing around with your truck?

I've seen airbag lights come on for man reasons, faulty sensors, connections, replacing RADIOS! Removing seats!! All sorts of reasons. Personally I bought my QX56 with the airbag light blinking. Drove me crazy for 24 hours till I decided to reset it n see what happened. It takes two minutes to do. No tools.

1. Turn key from off to on. (on meaning all your dash lights are on but your not cranking the motor)

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.

Airbag light

Takeit to a dealership and have then look at the airbag system. One of 3 items could have gone bad/broken . seat sensor, airbag clock spring, or a wire in the steering column. Oh, if u have a passenger side airbag that is another set of wires and sensors for that one also. Dealership have the scan tools for airbags.

Blinking airbag light

The blink code you are refering to is : Intermittent or Repaired RH Radiator Primary Crash Sensor Feed/Return Circuit Open , which means your right hand side frontal crash sensor (airbag sensor) is not working, therefore your airbag system is disabled...

THE LIGHT OF AIRBAG IS ALWAYS ON

the airbag sensor is probably bad or weak or the gas is low in the air tanks or they were never recharged and if someone bumped the front bumper that could have also damaged the airbag sensor
