Hi people,
My 2009 1.6 qq has developed an airbag error somewhere, I did the ignition on off thing and reset it, it was fine for about half hour and then came back.
I don't know Nissan that well, so generally where is the most likely place to start? I have plugged in and no codes are present? Not sure if my reader is good enough for airbag codes or if speciality reader is needed?
Anyway, reading up, it seems the click spring might be the place to go, I'm handy at changing parts n that, I fall down on new stuff because of software resets and the like which I can't do.
My car is basic spec, no traction or cruise. Will the car need the steering angle reseting if it proves to be that the clock spring is broken?
Can I buy anything like software and lead for a laptop that will get this done or is it defianely a garage job?
Cheers for reading
Mark

Welcome to this forum.
The "clock spring" wiring connection is often mentioned on here in respect of problems being flagged up that might occur with its failure. I can't answer your technical queries though.
Obviously be wary working around an airbag!
Airbags when first introduced had a "replace by" date - does anyone know whether this still applies?

Yeah, hoping not, it is over 10 years old now though
I'll keep reading up, feel free anybody to add information, mainly on diagnostics, has the Nissan got a self diagnosis function?

They no longer have a use by date, that was airbags from the 80's , some early 90'sgloucester wrote: ↑Sat Jan 22, 2022 5:51 pm Welcome to this forum.

So nobody can say if my car might need the steering angle resetting?
Looking at possibly purchasing something to help me sort it out...

Potentially, someone with the technical knowledge might come along
