HELP - Airbag light flashing

[YidoDylan]

Hi guys, brought my micra off my college and it's had the airbag light on the dash flashing. It's done it since he's had it he says it's a faulty sensor..

I need to get this sorted before the end of September 14' as the MOT is due then..

I don't have a diagnostic reader and the garage want to charge me £45 just to see what it is..

Can anyone help me?

Even better any know 'a mate' that can pass you an MOT for a little extra in a radius of 60 miles from Chelmsford, Essex..

The car is 2002 K11 3 door with only drivers airbag.

Thanks guys

Managed to reset it first time!!

For anyone else:

There is a procedure on the Nissan you can use to reset the light - and it is as follows :

a) Switch OFF the radio & Ignition
(b) Turn Ignition ON (Position II)
(c) The airbag warning light will stay on for 7 seconds and then switch off – as soon as it does
turn OFF the ignition (within 1 second of the light switching off)
(d) Wait at least 5 seconds
(e) Repeat steps (a) to (c) two more times – this is important to make sure it registers with
different modules in the car
(f) Turn ON ignition, wait 2 seconds
(g) Switch OFF Ignition (Position 0) and wait 1 second
(h) Switch ignition back ON.
(i) Airbag light will remain off so long as there are no other faults otherwise it will come on again - and then you should have it diagnosed properly to ensure the system works .
