How do I Reset the Airbag in a 1998 Infiniti I30

How do I Reset the Airbag in a 1998 Infiniti I30?

When your Infiniti I30s diagnostic system detects a malfunction with the vehicle, it issues an error code. The SRS, or Supplemental Restraint System, light illuminates as a result of an error code related to the airbag system. You can disconnect the battery to reset the light but this resets the entire computer, so thats not the best option. Or you can obtain an OBD II scanner from an auto parts store to reset the computer and shut off the SRS light. This is the preferred way and takes just a few minutes of your time. Only reset the airbag after it has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired by a qualified mechanic.

Instructions

    1

    Locate the OBD port under the dashboard near the steering column.

    2

    Plug the OBD-II scanner into the OBD port, then power on the scanner.

    3

    Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "On" position.

    4

    Wait for the error code to display on the face of the scanner. Select the "Erase" or "Clear" codes command. Wait while the scanner clears the code and returns to the main menu.

    5

    Unplug the scanner and start the engine. Verify that the SRS light has shut off of the instrument panel. The airbag is now reset.
