How to Reset the Air Bag Light on a 2005 Frontier

You can reset the air bag light on your 2005 Frontier right from your home garage in just a few moments. When the SRS, or air bag, light illuminates on the instrument panel, it means there is a malfunction in the air bag system that needs to be looked at and repaired immediately. If not, you risk the air bag deploying while you are driving. Once you have addressed the problem, just reset the light and it will turn off. You should reset it as soon as you have fixed the problem, so it can accurately alert you to any future problems that may arise.

Instructions

Get inside your Frontier and close all doors. Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "on" position. Make sure you dont start the engine, though. Once the air bag light flashes, turn the key to the "off" position immediately.

Wait 10 seconds and turn the vehicle on, wait for the air bag light to flash, then immediately turn off the vehicle.

Repeat Step 2 one more time. This should reset and turn off the air bag light.

How to Reset an Air Bag Warning Light

The airbag warning light illuminates in your vehicle when the supplemental restraint system, or SRS, malfunctions. When the light turns on, you need to immediately have the vehicle examined and repaired by a professional mechanic. Usually this requires replacement of the entire airbag unit. After it has been replaced, you can manually reset the SRS light yourself using a paperclip. No other special tools are required to do the job.

Instructions

Locate the fuse panel cover on the drivers side, on the lower part of the dashboard. Pull down on it from the top using your fingers.

Find a yellow connector that is plugged in the panel. This is called the Supplemental Restraint System power connector.

Remove the yellow connector from the fuse panel.

Unfold and straighten out a paperclip and put one end into each of the SRS plug terminals.

Put the key into the ignition and turn the vehicle to the "on" position. Make sure the engine doesnt start. This will jump the terminals, which will reset and turn off the SRS light.

Put the power connector back into the fuse panel and close the fuse panel cover. Turn off the vehicle and wait about a minute.

Turn on the engine. Look on the instrument cluster to verify that the SRS light is off.
